The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is a motorcycle engineered for riders seeking a touring bike that blends performance, comfort, and advanced technology. It takes the iconic Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® and refines it with additional features designed specifically for long-distance riders who value comfort, reliability, and cutting-edge technology. The bike provides a smooth, controlled ride with a focus on comfort, especially for two-up touring, thanks to its powerful engine, sophisticated suspension, and ample storage space.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, delivering 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lb of torque. This V-twin engine ensures robust performance across various riding conditions.
Additionally, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra comes with responsive suspension features. The SHOWA® dual outboard emulsion technology shocks provide three inches of travel, ensuring a consistent and smooth ride on uneven surfaces.
Aerodynamic Design and Comfort
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is designed with a focus on rider and passenger comfort during long trips. The new aerodynamic features, including a four-inch taller Batwing fairing, improve wind protection by reducing helmet buffeting by up to 60%. The Batwing fairing, which has been sculpted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing, ensures less turbulence and a more comfortable ride.
The addition of adjustable air deflectors, which can be altered based on the rider’s preference, directs wind around the rider or towards them, depending on comfort needs.
For enhanced rider comfort, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra features a two-up seat that has been ergonomically designed to rotate the rider's hips forward. This helps reduce spine pressure and allows for more comfortable, extended rides.
Storage for Long-Distance Touring
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra stands out for its ability to carry more cargo than its standard Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® counterpart. The King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier comes standard, offering a hard-shell construction that combines durability and practicality. With 4.9 cubic feet of storage space, it’s more than double the storage capacity of the standard Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®.
Additionally, the bike features large saddlebags and fairing cubbies that increase overall storage capacity.
Infotainment and Technology Features
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra comes equipped with the most advanced infotainment system available from the manufacturer. A 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen with the Skyline™ OS provides a clear and intuitive interface, allowing riders to access infotainment, navigation, and bike settings effortlessly. The system supports Apple CarPlay®, which allows users to easily connect their smartphones for hands-free communication, music, and navigation.
For navigation, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra features a hands-free Voice Recognition System. Riders can make simple voice commands, allowing for seamless interaction without taking their hands off the handlebars.
In addition to infotainment, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is designed to provide convenience with features like the Vehicle Hold Control (VHC). This system allows the bike to remain stationary on inclines or declines until the rider is ready to accelerate.
Rider Safety Enhancements
The Rider Safety Enhancements (RSE) are a key component of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra, designed to give riders additional confidence. These enhancements include Cornering Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), and Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB).
The C-ABS system monitors the motorcycle's lean angle and adjusts the brake pressure accordingly to prevent wheel slip while cornering. The TCS ensures the rear wheel doesn’t lose traction during acceleration, helping to maintain control, even on wet or slippery roads.
For improved braking performance, the Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) system automatically applies braking to both wheels when the front brake lever is engaged.
