The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® builds upon a legacy of touring motorcycles that combine style, functionality, and performance. For riders who prioritize a long-lasting, comfortable ride without compromising power, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® offers a practical yet sophisticated option. This model presents a blend of classic Harley-Davidson® design with advanced technical features that cater to modern riders.
Engine Performance: The Milwaukee-Eight® 117
Designed for riders seeking both efficiency and high performance, the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine powers the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®. This engine provides a substantial 130 ft-lb of torque and delivers 105 horsepower.
One of the most significant upgrades to the engine is its liquid-cooled cylinder heads. This system is designed to prevent the engine from overheating, even during extended rides in high temperatures. This cooling system helps maintain consistent performance, ensuring the engine continues to perform optimally regardless of external conditions. The high-flow intake system increases internal volume, contributing to improved airflow, which further enhances the engine’s overall efficiency and power output.
Suspension: Adjustability for Comfort and Handling
Harley-Davidson® has equipped the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® with an adjustable rear suspension, designed to provide a smooth and adaptable ride for varying conditions. Riders can adjust the preload setting to accommodate different loads. This feature enhances the bike’s versatility, allowing it to perform well in both solo and two-up riding situations.
The rear suspension's hand-adjustable design ensures that riders can easily modify the setup without requiring complex tools. This quick adjustability is crucial for riders who frequently alter their riding conditions.
Aerodynamics and Comfort: The Iconic Batwing Fairing
One of the defining characteristics of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® is its Batwing fairing, designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize aerodynamics. This process helps reduce wind resistance, which in turn minimizes rider fatigue during long rides. The fairing’s sleek design also helps manage airflow, ensuring that the rider remains comfortable in varying wind conditions.
In addition to its aerodynamic benefits, the fairing is equipped with integrated LED signature lighting. The lighting not only improves visibility for other road users but also adds a modern touch to the bike's design. The Batwing fairing’s functionality extends to its ability to reduce head buffeting, allowing the rider to focus on the road without distractions.
Customization Options for Personal Expression
Harley-Davidson® has long been known for providing riders with the opportunity to customize their bikes to fit their unique style and preferences. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® continues this tradition with a range of customization options that cater to a variety of tastes. Riders can select between chrome and black trim models, with an array of colors to choose from, including Vivid Black, Billiard Gray, and the striking Mystic Shift, which changes color depending on the lighting.
Beyond the aesthetic aspects, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® offers customization opportunities for performance. Riders can choose from a variety of accessories, including exhaust systems, to alter the rumble and power delivery of the bike.
Cutting-Edge Technology: 12.3-Inch TFT Display and Ride Modes
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® is equipped with a 12.3-inch TFT display that serves as the center for navigation, infotainment, and vehicle data. This screen provides clear and concise information, allowing the rider to easily access navigation systems, adjust the audio settings, and manage other essential bike functions while on the road.
Additionally, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® comes with three pre-programmed ride modes: Road, Sport, and Rain. These modes adjust the bike's performance characteristics, offering a more tailored experience based on road conditions. Riders who require further customization can utilize the customizable mode, which allows them to fine-tune the bike’s handling characteristics. The versatility of these ride modes ensures that the bike can adapt to different weather conditions and riding environments.
Advanced Safety Features: Rider Safety Enhancements
Harley-Davidson® has integrated a suite of safety technologies into the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® to provide riders with increased confidence in challenging conditions. The bike is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking during hard braking, helping the rider maintain control in emergency situations. This system enhances stability and performance, particularly when braking in a straight line.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® also features an Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) system, which applies braking force to both wheels when the rider engages the front brake lever. This system improves braking performance, ensuring that the bike remains stable while coming to a stop. Additionally, the Traction Control System (TCS) helps prevent the rear wheel from spinning during acceleration, further improving rider confidence.
For cornering riders, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® features Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking (C-ABS) and Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB), which adjust braking force based on the bike's lean angle. These systems optimize braking performance during turns, enhancing stability and control.
Another notable safety feature is the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS), which prevents the rear wheel from locking when the throttle is quickly reduced or the rider downshifts abruptly. This system is particularly beneficial when riding on slippery surfaces, ensuring that the bike maintains traction and stability during deceleration.
Audio and Infotainment: Sound to Match the Ride
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® is equipped with a premium audio system designed to provide clear, dynamic sound throughout the ride. Powered by a 200-watt, four-channel amplifier, the system delivers 50 watts per channel, ensuring that the audio quality remains consistent even at higher speeds. The fairing-mounted speakers produce deep lows, clean mids, and crisp highs, making the bike’s audio system ideal for listening to music or following navigation instructions.
The bike’s infotainment system integrates seamlessly with the 12.3-inch TFT display, giving riders the ability to adjust audio settings, navigate, and access other functions without taking their hands off the handlebars. This system ensures that riders can enjoy their ride while staying connected to their music, phone, or GPS system.
