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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin Engine

Big-displacement V-Twin character is the heart of the Street Glide®, and the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 delivers it with refined composure. Equipped with liquid-cooled cylinder heads and a discrete center-mounted radiator, the engine maintains consistent temperatures during slow traffic, hot summer days, and extended climbs. Throttle response is strong yet precise, aided by a high-performance touring intake that increases internal volume for improved airflow. The result is crisp roll-on acceleration for passing maneuvers and a confident rhythm at highway speeds. This engine preserves the unmistakable Harley-Davidson® pulse while trimming fatigue-inducing heat—an advantage you will appreciate during full-day rides and multi-day routes.

Iconic Batwing Fairing with LED Signature Lighting

The iconic Batwing fairing is as functional as it is recognizable. Developed with computational fluid dynamics (CFD), its reshaped profile smooths airflow to help reduce buffeting and promote overall stability. The fairing’s lines now integrate LED signature lighting directly into the bodywork, improving on-road visibility for you and others while creating a unified, modern aesthetic front to back. From an ergonomics standpoint, the visual flow of the fairing, tank, and side panels guides the eye and complements the one-piece seat for a cohesive touring silhouette. It is a design that honors heritage while meeting contemporary expectations for long-distance comfort.

12.3-Inch TFT Display

At the center of the cockpit is a 12.3-inch touchscreen color TFT display that sets a high bar for clarity and responsiveness. Icons and menus are laid out to reduce distraction, making it easy to view navigation prompts, audio selections, and vehicle information at a glance. The screen is designed for gloved operation, and its placement helps keep your eyes closer to the road while accessing key functions. Whether you are managing a route across unfamiliar terrain or adjusting audio levels on the fly, the display’s combination of size, brightness, and intuitive logic maintains focus on what matters—your ride.

Ride Modes

The Street Glide® lets you fine-tune its personality with three pre-programmed ride modes—Road, Sport, and Rain—and a customizable mode. With the touch of a button, you can shift from relaxed touring to a more assertive response or opt for a configuration designed for low-traction conditions. The customizable mode allows experienced riders to set preferences that best match their habits and routes. This adaptability is more than a convenience; it is a practical way to align power delivery and chassis feel with weather, geography, and riding style, promoting confidence when conditions change.

Audio System

Long days in the saddle call for clear, dynamic sound. Fairing-mounted speakers pair with a 200-watt, four-channel amplifier rated at 50 watts per channel to deliver deep lows, clean mids, and crisp highs across genres. The integration is clean—no clutter of components—so the motorcycle retains a tidy cockpit while projecting impressive volume and clarity. Pair this with the low-turbulence air pocket created by the Batwing fairing and you get sound that remains intelligible at speed. It is a system built to complement touring, not compete with it, and it rounds out a cockpit designed for clarity and comfort.
