Key Features of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide®

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin Engine

Powering the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is the celebrated Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine, representing the pinnacle of Harley-Davidson®’s performance engineering. This engine boasts increased displacement, which translates to greater power and torque with every twist of the throttle. The result is forceful acceleration for merging on highways, overtaking vehicles, or simply enjoying the exhilaration that comes with each ride. The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 delivers its muscle with a smooth, refined character, maintaining the signature Harley-Davidson® rumble that riders have cherished for generations. Advanced cooling and tuning ensure consistent power delivery—whether tackling city streets or open highways near State College, PA.

Sharknose Fairing and Enhanced Aerodynamics

One of the most visually striking aspects of the Road Glide® continues to be its iconic Sharknose fairing. For 2025, Harley-Davidson® engineers have revised its contours and structure to enhance aerodynamics, minimizing buffeting at cruising speeds and leading to a quieter, more stable cabin for the rider. The fairing’s mounted design separates it from the handlebars for improved agility and reduced fatigue, a crucial advantage for long journeys and variable weather conditions. Enhanced wind and weather protection make the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® ideal for those all-day rides that define cross-country touring.

12.3-Inch Full-Color TFT Touch Screen Infotainment System

Riders now have access to one of the most advanced infotainment systems Harley-Davidson® has ever produced. The 12.3-inch full-color touchscreen is mounted for clear and convenient viewing, offering intuitive control of navigation, music, hands-free calling, and system settings. Harley-Davidson® has designed this interface for use with gloves, ensuring rider safety and comfort are never compromised. The system’s clarity and brightness are optimized to prevent distractions, while its connected features enhance every aspect of touring, from pre-ride planning to real-time route adjustments. Whether heading out for a local State College, PA, cruise or a multi-state expedition, this infotainment system maximizes enjoyment and confidence.

Rider Safety Enhancements

For 2025, the Road Glide® is equipped with a comprehensive suite of Rider Safety Enhancements—Harley-Davidson®’s proprietary systems that work seamlessly in the background to provide additional peace of mind. These enhancements include advanced braking systems, cornering traction control, and electronic stability aids, all engineered to intervene only when needed and otherwise remain undetectable during standard riding. The focus is on empowering the rider to confidently manage changing road surfaces, variable weather, and unexpected circumstances. These innovations establish the Road Glide® as a premier choice for motorcyclists who value both performance and safety.

Ergonomic Touring Comfort

Touring comfort is foundational in the design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide®. Ergonomic improvements begin with a sculpted seat that supports riders through long distances and changing conditions. Floorboards, hand controls, and smartly positioned switchgear maximize comfort for both rider and passenger. Minimal vibration and improved weight distribution reduce fatigue, so each mile can be savored. Generously sized saddlebags accommodate everything from daily commuting essentials to full touring gear, making the Road Glide® as practical for local errands as for extended trips. Harley-Davidson® has taken every step to ensure that each ride is as enjoyable as it is memorable.
