The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is designed for riders who demand more than basic touring capabilities. With an array of advanced features tailored for long-distance travel, this motorcycle delivers outstanding performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra stands out as one of the most refined touring models of Harley-Davidson®, offering everything a rider needs for extended journeys with added conveniences and safety enhancements.
Performance-Focused Engineering: Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Engine
The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, a V-twin motor that offers both power and dependability, is the foundation of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra. With its 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lb of torque, this engine is perfect for long trips with a passenger and bags. The bike’s enhanced torque guarantees that it can traverse a range of surfaces and circumstances without experiencing any degradation in performance.
The engine's robust output ensures smooth power delivery across the rev range, providing responsive acceleration. The advanced engineering behind the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, with its optimized fuel management system, not only delivers more power but also improves fuel efficiency, achieving up to 44 miles per gallon. This makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra a practical choice for long-distance touring without the need for frequent fuel stops.
Aerodynamic Design for Enhanced Comfort
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra features an updated Batwing fairing designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel testing. This design modification optimizes aerodynamic performance and reduces wind resistance, enhancing comfort for the rider and passenger. The new fairing is paired with a four-inch taller windshield, which reduces helmet buffeting by up to 60%, providing a more stable and comfortable ride at highway speeds.
Additionally, the fairing comes equipped with adjustable air vents that allow riders to fine-tune the airflow for added comfort. These vents, along with fork-mounted air deflectors, help manage wind flow to improve rider ergonomics and reduce turbulence.
Improved Rider and Passenger Comfort
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra offers comfort for both the rider and passenger, designed for long-distance touring. The two-up comfort seat has been specifically designed to alleviate spine pressure by rotating the rider's hips forward, ensuring a more relaxed and less fatigued riding posture.
Additionally, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra includes heated grips, a standard feature, which is especially useful for riders traveling in colder climates. This feature ensures that the rider can maintain optimal comfort, regardless of the weather conditions.
Extensive Storage for Touring Gear
A critical feature for any touring motorcycle is the ability to carry gear, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra excels in this area. With the inclusion of a King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier, this model offers a significant increase in storage capacity compared to standard touring models. The Tour-Pak® is not only spacious but also comes equipped with a passenger backrest and armrests, ensuring comfort for passengers over long distances.
In addition to the Tour-Pak®, the bike features large saddlebags and fairing cubbies, providing a total of 4.9 cubic feet of storage. This is more than double the storage capacity of the standard Street Glide® model, offering ample space for everything needed on extended trips, including clothing, accessories, and other travel essentials.
Advanced Infotainment and Connectivity
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is equipped with one of the most advanced infotainment systems in the Harley-Davidson® lineup. The 12.3-inch Skyline™ OS touchscreen display provides riders with an easy-to-use interface that integrates a range of functions, including navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. The display is highly responsive and clear, even in bright sunlight, ensuring that riders can access critical information with minimal distraction.
The system supports Apple CarPlay® and includes built-in navigation, so riders can stay connected while on the road. The 200-watt audio system ensures that music and other media are delivered with clarity, even at highway speeds.
Rider Safety Enhancements for Confidence on the Road
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra incorporates several key Rider Safety Enhancements designed to increase safety and provide more control in various riding conditions. These features work together to create a more stable and predictable riding experience, especially when road conditions are less than ideal.
One of the key features is the Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS). This system adjusts the braking force based on the bike’s lean angle, ensuring that the braking system operates optimally when cornering. The system helps prevent the wheels from locking and ensures that the rider can maintain control even in more challenging corners.
Another important feature is the Traction Control System (TCS), which helps prevent rear wheel spin during acceleration, particularly on slippery surfaces. The system improves rider confidence by maintaining consistent traction, especially when road conditions are less than ideal.
The Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) system is another valuable safety feature. It automatically holds the bike in place when stopped on an incline, preventing the motorcycle from rolling backward. This feature makes hill starts easier and safer, ensuring that the rider is always in control, even when starting from a steep incline.
Other safety features, including Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), further enhance the rider's control and provide real-time alerts for critical systems, ensuring optimal safety during every ride.
Functional Aesthetics
In addition to its advanced functionality, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is equipped with aesthetic details that enhance its overall design. The fuel tank medallion and console inserts are available in both chrome and black to match the bike’s trim, adding a refined touch to the overall look. The inclusion of saddlebag guards, finished to match the trim, helps protect the motorcycle’s bodywork in case of a tip-over, ensuring that the bike remains in top condition even after a minor mishap.
