Key Features of the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®

Milwaukee-Eight® 117

The 117 cu in. liquid-cooled Milwaukee-Eight® engine defines the Street Glide’s effortless thrust. Rated at 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lbs at 3,250 rpm, it delivers the kind of torque you feel immediately in everyday passing zones and uphill climbs. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) keeps fueling crisp, while the 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers preserves a calm, authoritative note for long-haul comfort. Gear ratios are chosen to pull strongly in the midrange while keeping revs relaxed in highway top gear. Riders who value composure under load will also appreciate the Drag-Torque Slip Control System, which helps smooth abrupt engine braking on downshifts. The 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® turns this power into steady, repeatable performance you can trust mile after mile.

The Next Generation of Batwing Fairing

Harley-Davidson® refined the Batwing fairing to improve wind management and visual presence without losing the unmistakable silhouette. The updated shape calms turbulence around the rider’s helmet and shoulders to reduce fatigue on long days. Clean airflow pairs with integrated all-LED signature lighting that throws a bright, uniform beam to light up the road ahead and increase conspicuity to surrounding traffic. The fairing also sets the stage for the Skyline™ OS display, keeping that large 12.3 in. TFT up high and in your natural line of sight. With premium paint and graphics options, including colorways like Aurora Blue Denim, the fairing’s form and finish underscore a modern take on timeless touring style.

Skyline™ OS 12.3 in. TFT Display

Touring clarity is the whole point of the Skyline™ OS system. A large, full-color 12.3 in. TFT gives you a wide canvas for navigation, vehicle information, and media. Apple CarPlay compatibility (wireless or wired) integrates your phone’s familiar tools for mapping and audio, while Bluetooth support connects to your headset for calls and music. Voice recognition is available in multiple languages for phone functions, tuner, media, and navigation. The display integrates digital gauges and a vehicle information screen with air temperature, oil pressure, and EITMS status. Two 5.25 in. fairing speakers, powered by 50 watts per channel, provide crisp audio designed for highway pace. Controls feel intuitive, screens are readable at a glance, and the system stays focused on what touring riders actually use.

Rider Safety Enhancements

When the unexpected happens, assistance you do not have to think about is invaluable. The Street Glide offers a suite of Rider Safety Enhancements that includes Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) to help optimize stopping performance. Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements add cornering awareness to ABS and linked braking, along with Cornering Enhanced Traction Control (C-TCS) and Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control (C-DSCS) to manage grip and stability as lean angle changes. Vehicle Hold Control helps prevent roll-back when launching on an incline, and Tire Pressure Monitoring alerts you on the display if pressure strays from target. Each element is designed to assist, not distract, preserving the bike’s natural feel while adding a technology safety net when conditions turn unpredictable.

Ride-Tuned Suspension and Brakes

Comfort and control begin with the fundamentals. Up front, a 49 mm Dual Bending Valve fork balances support and compliance across rough pavement. Out back, dual outboard emulsion shocks offer 3 in. of travel with preload adjustability, letting you fine-tune for solo rides or loaded weekends. Braking hardware includes strong 4-piston front calipers biting dual floating rotors, with a single rear rotor and caliper tuned to bring the chassis down in a straight, stable line. Dunlop® Harley-Davidson Series tires put down a confident footprint, with a 130/60B19 front and 180/55B18 rear. Geometry that includes a 64 in. wheelbase and 26 degrees of rake helps the Street Glide track steadily at speed while remaining approachable in parking lots. Seat height sits at a friendly 26.4 in. laden, with 32 degrees of lean angle either side for real-world backroads.
