Eisenhauer’s Tioga County Harley-Davidson® - Is the 12.3-Inch TFT on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra easy to use around Towanda, PA?
Riders who log serious miles expect navigation, audio, and ride settings to work seamlessly without breaking focus. On the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra, the 12.3-Inch TFT Display with Skyline™ OS brings clarity and control to the cockpit with an interface that is bright, responsive, and designed for quick, low-distraction interactions in real-world riding.
What sets this system apart is how it unifies touring essentials. The large touchscreen surface renders maps and data legibly, the menu structure keeps common actions close at hand, and the Hands-free Voice Recognition System supports conversational commands like “Find me a gas station.” That combination lets you keep your attention forward while the bike handles the background tasks—turn-by-turn guidance, audio adjustments, and ride mode changes—so you can focus on your line and the next mile marker.
For riders transitioning from analog gauges or smaller screens, the Street Glide® Ultra’s display eases the learning curve. The layout is intuitive, with logical groupings for navigation, bike status, and media. On the road, touch targets are sized for quick taps at stoplights, and the system reacts promptly so you spend less time in menus. The goal is not just more technology—it is smarter technology that supports your ride rather than distracting from it.
In daily use, the TFT proves its value before the first highway on-ramp. Pre-ride, confirm your route, select a ride mode, and set audio preferences in seconds. As weather or traffic changes, quick adjustments keep your plan fluid. And when it is time for fuel or a stretch break, voice commands make on-the-fly rerouting simple, so you are not juggling your phone or diving through nested settings.

These details matter on roads around Towanda, PA, where weather shifts and traffic patterns call for quick decisions.

That’s especially helpful on long weekends or multi-state trips where mental load can build hour after hour.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the 12.3-Inch TFT improve touring compared with smaller displays?
The larger surface area shows more of what you need at once—map, prompts, and key bike data—so you spend less time toggling between screens. With Skyline™ OS, common functions are closer to the home view, trimming steps during fuel stops or route changes.
Is the voice system practical on the highway?
Yes. The Hands-free Voice Recognition System is designed for straightforward, conversational commands. When paired appropriately, it helps with tasks like locating fuel or adjusting navigation without taking your hands from the controls.
Can I adjust ride modes quickly for changing conditions?
The interface makes switching between the bike’s four ride modes quick and intuitive. That means you can align throttle response and related settings with road and weather conditions in a few taps when stopped.
What’s the real benefit for longer trips?
Consistency and clarity. When navigation, media, and bike settings play well together, you minimize mental fatigue. Over long days that translates to a steadier pace, fewer missed turns, and more attention available for the road ahead.
