The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra in Anderson, SC
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is designed for long-distance touring, integrating advanced performance, aerodynamics, suspension, and technology. This motorcycle features the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, an improved batwing fairing, increased storage capacity, and a modernized infotainment system.
Engine Performance and Specifications
The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine is the highest displacement factory-installed engine available on an H-D® touring model. The 117 cubic-inch displacement delivers increased torque and horsepower, optimizing power for highway travel, inclines, and fully loaded conditions. The liquid-cooled cylinder heads maintain consistent temperatures by reducing heat buildup in slow traffic and high-demand riding situations. A centrally mounted radiator directs airflow efficiently, improving thermal management during prolonged rides. The electronic sequential port fuel injection system ensures consistent throttle response. The engine management system dynamically adjusts air-to-fuel ratios based on altitude and temperature, improving combustion efficiency and performance stability.
Aerodynamic Engineering and Wind Protection
A redesigned batwing fairing enhances aerodynamics, developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing. Structural fairing improvements maintain stability at higher speeds by reducing turbulence around the handlebars and rider's upper body. The optimized fairing angles reduce drag, improving fuel economy on long-distance rides.
Suspension and Ride Comfort
The dual outboard emulsion rear shocks provide enhanced suspension travel and load adaptability. The three-inch rear suspension travel absorbs road imperfections, improving ride comfort. The adjustable preload allows riders to customize suspension settings based on passenger weight and cargo load. The front suspension features 49mm dual bending valve forks, offering improved damping response.
Infotainment and Connectivity Features
A 12.3-inch color TFT touchscreen display serves as the central interface for navigation, infotainment, and ride customization. The Skyline™ OS powers the system, allowing seamless access to route planning, media playback, and real-time vehicle diagnostics. The hands-free voice recognition system enables riders to use conversational commands for navigation and infotainment adjustments. Bluetooth® compatibility allows smartphone pairing for calls, messaging, and music streaming. A factory-installed 200-watt, four-channel amplifier optimizes audio clarity, adjusting sound levels based on vehicle speed and wind noise. A USB-C charging port provides high-speed device charging, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity. The system supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, allowing smartphone integration with the infotainment display.
Safety and Rider Assistance Technologies
Safety Enhancements include the Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) that optimizes braking performance during turns, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining traction. The Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) modulates power delivery based on lean angle, improving control on wet or uneven surfaces. The Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) mitigates rear-wheel slip during deceleration by automatically adjusting engine torque. The Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) prevents the motorcycle from rolling backward when stopped on inclines. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) continuously monitors tire air pressure, alerting the rider to any significant pressure loss.
LED Lighting System
An LED headlamp provides improved road illumination. The integrated turn signals enhance on-road visibility for surrounding vehicles. An LED tail light ensures a brighter, energy-efficient lighting system compared to halogen bulbs. The rear lighting system includes additional brake light LEDs for improved visibility in heavy traffic.
Seating and Ergonomics
The motorcycle features a one-piece seat designed for long-distance comfort and an easily adjustable rear suspension for optimizing ride quality based on load and riding conditions.
Braking System
The Reflex™ Linked Brembo® Brakes with standard ABS provide controlled braking by preventing wheel lock-up. The front and rear disc brakes offer consistent braking performance, engineered to handle increased weight and load capacity. The high-performance brake calipers and floating rotors provide improved heat dissipation, reducing brake fade during prolonged use.
