The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® introduces a new level of performance, style, and technology. Designed for long-distance touring and aggressive handling, this motorcycle represents the best in H-D® engineering. Every aspect of the bike, from its Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 engine to its advanced Skyline™ OS infotainment system, caters to riders seeking both comfort and power.
Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 Engine: A Powertrain Built for Performance
The Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 engine delivers an exceptional balance of power and efficiency. A larger displacement and variable valve timing technology allow the engine to generate strong torque throughout the RPM range. Optimized fuel combustion and timing adjustments adapt to different riding conditions, providing smooth acceleration and increased fuel economy.
Riders will appreciate the seamless throttle response, especially when transitioning between highway speeds and city traffic. The 121 cubic inch displacement creates a commanding presence on the road, with an unmistakable exhaust rumble that defines H-D® touring motorcycles. A liquid-cooled cylinder head enhances temperature management, preventing overheating during extended rides in warm climates.
SHOWA® Suspension: A Smoother, More Controlled Ride
The SHOWA® inverted 47mm front forks provide improved suspension travel and stability. A front-end design engineered for responsive handling ensures better feedback when cornering. The enhanced fork setup helps reduce front-end dive under braking, creating a more controlled experience.
Rear shocks equipped with an asymmetric adjustment feature allow riders to fine-tune preload settings. A quick and precise adjustment system enables customization based on rider weight, passenger load, or luggage. Long-distance touring requires a suspension system that adapts to varying conditions, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® excels in this area.
Skyline™ OS Infotainment System: A Connected Ride
The Skyline™ OS infotainment system introduces a modern digital experience to the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide®. A 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display provides essential riding information, navigation, and multimedia controls. A user-friendly interface with customizable settings allows riders to personalize their display preferences.
Wi-Fi connectivity enhances the functionality of the system, allowing real-time map updates and seamless integration with mobile devices. A redesigned navigation layout improves route planning, offering better visibility of road conditions and points of interest. The Skyline™ OS transforms the dashboard into an interactive control center, making it easier for riders to access information without distraction.
H-D® Audio Powered by Rockford Fosgate®: A Premium Sound Experience
The H-D® Audio system powered by Rockford Fosgate® delivers high-quality sound. A speaker setup integrated into the fairing and saddlebag lids ensures an immersive audio experience. An advanced amplifier produces crisp sound clarity at any speed, preventing wind and engine rumble from overpowering the music.
Audio system adjustments provide customization for different riding conditions. Riders can fine-tune bass, treble, and volume settings to match their preferences. Music, podcasts, and navigation prompts come through clearly, enhancing long-distance travel.
Refined Design: A Custom Look with Exclusive Paint and Finishes
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® features premium paint schemes unique to the model. A multi-layer painting process creates deep, rich colors that stand out in any lighting condition. A seamless blend of paint-matched components and custom finishes gives the motorcycle a high-end appearance.
A newly designed fairing improves aerodynamics and reduces wind resistance. A streamlined shape enhances stability at higher speeds while maintaining a bold, aggressive profile. The fairing integrates LED lighting elements, creating a distinct front-end design with modern styling.
Lightweight cast wheels contribute to both aesthetics and performance. A dynamic wheel design complements the overall look of the motorcycle while improving handling characteristics. A set of high-performance Brembo® brakes ensures precise stopping power.
LED Signature Lighting: A Modern Approach to Visibility
The LED signature lighting system enhances visibility on the road. A full LED headlamp assembly provides superior illumination, improving nighttime riding safety. An integrated lighting layout eliminates protruding turn indicators, giving the bike a sleek, streamlined look.
Rear LED lighting enhances visibility for following vehicles, making braking and turning intentions clear. A brighter and more efficient lighting system improves the motorcycle’s overall presence on the road.
Riding Comfort: Ergonomics for Long-Distance Travel
A well-designed seating position provides comfort for long rides. A carefully contoured seat reduces pressure points, offering better weight distribution for extended periods of riding. Handlebars positioned for a natural grip angle reduce strain on the wrists and shoulders.
A spacious footboard layout allows riders to adjust their positioning during travel. A combination of comfort-focused ergonomics and advanced suspension technology makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ideal for extended journeys.
Touring Capability: Storage and Fuel Efficiency
A large fuel tank with a six-gallon capacity supports long-distance touring. Fewer stops for refueling make cross-country travel more convenient. An efficient fuel delivery system ensures a balance of power and mileage.
Integrated saddlebags provide ample storage space for gear and essentials. A secure locking mechanism keeps belongings safe during travel. A well-designed storage solution adds to the practicality of the motorcycle without compromising style.
Tires and Braking System: Stability and Safety
A premium tire setup enhances traction and control. A 130/60B19 front tire and a 180/55B18 rear tire create a stable riding platform. A Dunlop® Harley-Davidson® Series bias blackwall tire construction ensures durability and reliability.
A high-performance braking system features Brembo® calipers for precise stopping power. A dual front disc brake layout enhances braking efficiency. A responsive brake setup ensures control in various riding conditions, providing confidence on the road.
Riding Modes: Customizable Performance Settings
A selection of ride modes tailors performance to different conditions. Engine mapping, traction control, and throttle response adjust based on the selected mode. A customizable ride setting allows riders to fine-tune preferences for their riding style.
One mode optimizes traction and stability in wet conditions. Another mode enhances throttle response for a more aggressive riding experience. An adaptive system provides flexibility based on rider needs.
