The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is engineered for long-haul comfort, performance, and modern technology. Designed specifically for riders who spend extended hours on the road, this bike brings together a robust V-twin engine, an innovative aerodynamic system, and a suite of advanced safety features. It offers more than basic touring capabilities; it integrates features that refine the riding experience to make long-distance travel smoother and more efficient.
Engine and Performance: Power for the Long Road Ahead
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra features the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, marking a major performance upgrade for the model. Delivering 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lb of torque, this V-twin is built for confident highway travel and responsive acceleration in varying conditions. Its balanced power delivery supports both solo and fully loaded rides, maintaining comfort and control across long distances and stop-and-go traffic alike.
One of the main benefits of the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine is its efficiency. Even at high speeds or under full load, it delivers consistent power while maintaining impressive fuel economy, achieving 44 mpg. This efficiency is key for riders who frequently tackle long distances between stops, ensuring that refueling does not disrupt the rhythm of the ride.
Aerodynamics and Comfort: Designed for Extended Riding
Harley-Davidson® has paid close attention to the aerodynamic design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra. The Batwing fairing, a signature feature of the Street Glide® family, has been redesigned using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel testing to improve comfort and reduce wind buffeting. The result is a fairing that offers better wind protection than previous models. A taller, four-inch windshield is standard, reducing helmet buffeting by up to 60%. This adjustment ensures that the rider and passenger can enjoy quieter and more comfortable rides, even when traveling at highway speeds for hours on end.
The two-up comfort seat is another notable feature. Designed for long-duration riding, this seat ergonomically rotates the rider’s hips forward, relieving spinal pressure and making extended journeys more comfortable. The padding is dense yet supportive, ensuring both the rider and passenger stay comfortable through miles of riding.
Technology and Infotainment: Stay Connected and In Control
Harley-Davidson® integrates state-of-the-art technology into the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra. The 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display, powered by Skyline™ OS, provides a crystal-clear interface for navigation, infotainment, and ride mode control. This screen offers an intuitive way to interact with the bike's systems and allows the rider to access critical data easily, including vehicle diagnostics, navigation instructions, and media controls.
The bike’s infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay®, ensuring that the rider can connect their phone to the bike for hands-free calls, music, and messaging. For navigation, the system includes built-in maps, and the hands-free voice recognition system enables riders to make requests like "Find a gas station" without needing to touch the screen. The 200-watt audio system delivers clear sound, ensuring the rider can enjoy music or GPS navigation even on the loudest stretches of the highway.
Safety and Rider Assistance: Advanced Features for Confidence on the Road
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra incorporates a comprehensive suite of Rider Safety Enhancements (RSE) to provide additional peace of mind. These features are designed to improve the rider’s ability to handle the motorcycle in a variety of conditions, ensuring stability and control at all times.
The Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) is one of the standout features. It adjusts the braking pressure according to the motorcycle's lean angle, which is crucial when navigating tight corners. This system works in tandem with the Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB), which ensures that braking power is distributed evenly between the front and rear wheels when cornering.
Traction control is another essential feature, particularly for riders who experience varying road surfaces. The Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) ensures the rear wheel doesn’t slip. Additionally, the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS) helps prevent the rear wheel from locking up during deceleration, especially when riding on wet or slippery surfaces.
Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) is a feature that makes starting from a stop on an incline or ramp easier. When activated, the system holds the bike in place, preventing it from rolling backward, which is especially helpful in hilly or uneven terrain.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the rider if the tire pressure is too high or too low, allowing for proactive maintenance before any issues can affect performance or safety.
Storage and Practical Design: Built for Touring Convenience
Touring motorcycles need to be practical, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra excels in this area with ample storage space. The King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier offers 4.9 cubic feet of storage, more than double that of a standard Street Glide®. The hard-shell saddlebags and fairing cubbies provide additional storage for smaller items, ensuring that riders have room for everything they need on long trips.
The luggage carrier is designed not only for storage capacity but also for comfort. It includes a robust passenger back pad with armrests, ensuring the passenger has the support needed for extended rides. Saddlebag guards provide added protection in case of a tip-over, keeping the bodywork intact.
The bike’s exterior design is sleek and polished. The new tank medallion comes in either chrome or black, matching the trim of the bike. The fairing’s aerodynamic enhancements, including the new fairing lowers and air deflectors, improve both wind management and visual appeal.
