The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 combines the signature style of the Sharknose bagger with the stability of a trike configuration. Designed for riders seeking a touring motorcycle with advanced engineering, a robust drivetrain, and comprehensive safety technology, the model integrates proven Harley-Davidson® performance with modern enhancements. It is offered in two trims, Chrome and Black, each with multiple premium paint options that allow for a distinctive factory finish while maintaining consistent technical capabilities.
Milwaukee-Eight® 114 Engine and Drivetrain
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 features the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine configured for trike performance. It delivers 90 horsepower and produces 119 ft-lb of torque, ensuring responsive acceleration through its two 18-inch rear wheels. The engine features a precision oil-cooling system that maintains optimal operating temperature in various climates and elevations. Its six-speed transmission is engineered for consistent gear changes that match the demands of highway travel and low-speed maneuvering. Fuel efficiency is rated at approximately 43 miles per gallon, supporting extended touring without frequent refueling.
Aerodynamic Sharknose Fairing
The fixed Sharknose fairing is equipped with triple splitstream vents to manage airflow at higher speeds and reduce rider fatigue. It also houses Dual Daymaker® LED headlamps, providing wide and long-range illumination. The fairing design contributes to stability during highway travel while offering integrated wind protection.
Wheel and Chassis Configuration
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 rides on a 19-inch front wheel and two 18-inch rear wheels, a configuration that supports a balanced stance and stable handling. The low seat height of 26.5 inches improves rider confidence during stops while maintaining proper ergonomic alignment for long-distance comfort. The chassis has been engineered to complement the trike’s weight distribution and center of gravity, providing controlled handling in various road conditions.
Suspension and Ride Quality
Rear suspension performance is supported by a single-knob preload adjustment system, allowing riders to adapt suspension settings for different loads. This ensures consistent ride quality. Suspension tuning maintains composure over uneven road surfaces, reducing the impact of bumps and vibrations during extended rides.
Integrated Storage Solutions
The rear of the trike features a weatherproof, locking trunk with a total volume of two cubic feet. The top-mounted door design allows for direct and accessible loading or unloading. Storage is engineered to protect contents from the elements while maintaining ease of use during touring operations.
Performance-Oriented Exhaust System
Dual slash-down mufflers are positioned between the rear wheels, contributing to the trike’s symmetrical visual profile. The exhaust system has been tuned for both performance output and rumble quality while complementing the overall styling.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system is built around a 6.5-inch color touchscreen display. It supports navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity, and music streaming. The display is designed for clear visibility and straightforward operation, with menu options accessible through both touchscreen input and handlebar-mounted controls. Integrated speakers provide clear audio output at various speeds, ensuring consistent audio quality during travel.
Rider Safety Enhancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 incorporates a complete set of Rider Safety Enhancements designed to maintain control in varied riding conditions. The Anti-lock Brake System prevents wheel lock during straight-line emergency braking, while Electronic Linked Braking distributes brake force between the front and rear for balanced stopping power. Traction Control regulates rear wheel spin during acceleration on low-traction surfaces, and the Drag-Torque Slip Control System minimizes rear wheel slip caused by abrupt throttle closure or downshifting.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides on-screen alerts for low or high tire pressure, allowing for timely adjustments that maintain handling and tire longevity.
Cornering-Optimized Safety Systems
Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking adjusts brake pressure based on lateral acceleration, maintaining stability during braking in a turn. Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking modifies brake distribution between the front and rear wheels while leaned to help the trike stay on its intended path. Cornering Enhanced Traction Control limits excessive rear wheel spin during acceleration in cornering situations, improving traction consistency in a range of conditions.
Trim and Finish Options
The Chrome trim is available in Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Whiskey Fire, and Blue Burst. The Black trim is offered in Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, White Onyx Pearl, Purple Abyss Denim, and Whiskey Firestorm. Both trims deliver identical mechanical performance, allowing the selection to be made purely on appearance preferences. Premium paint finishes, including the Factory Custom Whiskey Firestorm, are applied with attention to durability and long-term visual integrity.
Touring Comfort and Ergonomics
The rider and passenger seats are designed for sustained comfort on extended trips. Soft-touch passenger grab handles provide secure support during travel. The seating position works in combination with the suspension, fairing, and windscreen to reduce rider fatigue over distance. The overall ergonomics are configured to provide a stable, neutral riding posture that supports both control and comfort.
