The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is a limited-production motorcycle engineered for maximum performance and precision. Drawing from Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing development, it incorporates advanced materials, high-output power, and race-bred handling systems into a street-legal platform. This model is one of the most exclusive production motorcycles in the brand’s history, with only 131 units produced, each featuring a serialized riser clamp to mark its limited status.
Engine Power and Drivetrain
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is equipped with the Screamin’ Eagle® 131 Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin powertrain, the most powerful engine ever factory-installed in a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. This Stage IV unit produces 153 horsepower and 150 ft-lb of torque, with a maximum engine speed of 6,500 RPM. featuring CNC-ported heads, high-performance Screamin’ Eagle® internals, and an SE8-550 camshaft. This combination delivers strong acceleration, extended high-rev capability, and sustained performance under demanding riding conditions.
Power is delivered through the Screamin’ Eagle® Racing King 6 Transmission, designed for durability at race speeds. The transmission uses shot-peened gears and shafts for increased strength, while back-cut shift dogs ensure secure engagement under heavy load. This system is engineered to maintain consistent gear changes during high-intensity riding.
A race-inspired intake system includes a 68 mm throttle body for optimized airflow and power delivery. A CNC-machined aluminum intake manifold reduces weight, and a washable Screamin’ Eagle® High Flow air filter produces an aggressive intake rumble while maintaining airflow efficiency. The Akrapovič full titanium exhaust, co-developed with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing, features lightweight two-into-one header pipes, carbon fiber shields, and a titanium muffler. This system reduces weight by over 10 pounds compared to standard Milwaukee-Eight® exhausts and remains 50-state emissions compliant.
Chassis and Suspension Systems
The chassis and suspension components of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR are engineered for precise handling and stability. A fully adjustable race-spec Öhlins suspension setup increases ride height by two inches, allowing greater lean angles. The front system consists of 43 mm Öhlins FGR inverted forks, while the rear features dual Screamin’ Eagle® Öhlins Remote Reservoir shocks. These components are tuned for consistent performance in aggressive cornering situations.
A billet aluminum swingarm, developed by Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing, improves suspension response and reduces unsprung weight. Machined from a 220-pound block of 6061 aluminum down to only 18 pounds, this part provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and accurate handling feedback.
The braking system features Brembo® GP4-RX CNC calipers at the front, with four 32 mm pistons for maximum stopping capability. These calipers work with 320 mm Brembo® T-Drive front rotors, designed for high braking efficiency under extreme loads. At the rear, a four-piston Brembo® caliper operates with a 300 mm rotor, providing balanced braking performance across both wheels.
Billet aluminum mid-foot controls replace standard footboards to increase ground clearance and improve control during high-speed riding. These controls are designed for efficient shifting and braking in dynamic conditions. The solo seat with pommel, developed with Saddlemen®, raises the rider position by one inch to optimize mid-control ergonomics. The rear bolster supports the rider during acceleration, while the pommel offers bracing during braking. Its carbon fiber construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. Cast aluminum wheels reduce unsprung mass and improve handling precision, with a gloss black finish and laser-etched CVO™ RR logo on the front wheel.
Electronic Ride Modes and Controls
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR incorporates advanced ride modes designed through professional racing development. Track Mode, created with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing rider Kyle Wyman, optimizes throttle response, braking, and traction control for closed-course riding. Track Plus Mode reduces electronic intervention for skilled riders who prefer more manual control. In total, nine selectable ride modes are available, allowing adjustment of power delivery, engine braking, ABS, and traction control to match riding conditions.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The motorcycle features the most advanced display system offered by Harley-Davidson®, powered by Skyline™ OS. A 12.3-inch touchscreen provides a bright, high-resolution interface with wireless Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth® pairing, and integrated navigation. Over-the-air updates keep the system current without requiring manual servicing.
Audio performance is provided by the Rockford Fosgate® Stage III system, delivering 500 watts through 6.5-inch three-way fairing speakers. This setup maintains rumble clarity at high speeds and has been engineered in partnership with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing to match the demands of performance-oriented riding.
Lighting and Visibility
Signature LED lighting is integrated into the design for improved visibility and aerodynamic efficiency. The lighting system enhances the motorcycle’s profile and provides consistent illumination in various conditions.
Rider Safety Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR incorporates the full suite of Rider Safety Enhancements of Harley-Davidson® to assist in maintaining control under diverse conditions. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) prevents wheel lock during straight-line braking. Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) applies force to both wheels when either brake control is used, with adjustments based on speed and braking demand.
Traction Control System (TCS) reduces rear-wheel spin during acceleration, while Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) limits rear-wheel slip caused by rapid downshifts or sudden throttle closure. Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) holds brake pressure after coming to a stop, assisting in uphill or ramp starts. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) displays real-time tire pressure information to maintain optimal performance and tire longevity.
Cornering-enhanced systems include C-ABS, which modifies brake pressure based on lean angle; C-ELB, which adjusts brake force distribution when cornering; C-TCS, which manages wheel spin during acceleration in turns; and C-DSCS, which prevents excessive rear wheel slip during deceleration while leaned over.
Structural Materials and Design Features
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR uses materials commonly found in aerospace and motorsport applications. The carbon fiber bodywork reduces overall weight while maintaining strength, with visible weave patterns under a gloss clear coat. Billet aluminum components provide strength with reduced mass, while the titanium exhaust system combines weight savings with high heat tolerance.
The Harley-Davidson® Racing Orange paint scheme, accented with black and white graphics, mirrors the styling of the brand’s Factory Race Bikes. The serialized riser clamp on each unit confirms its limited production status and rarity.
