STREET GLIDE AND ROAD GLIDE The Street Glide and Road Glide models are more powerful , lighter , and more dynamic than ever before , with the bikes getting all-new visual design elements to give the aesthetic a cohesive dynamic flow from the front fenders to the saddlebags . Starting with the heart of the bikes , both score an updated Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine features a new cooling system which further optimises thermal comfort for the rider and enhanced intake and exhaust flow to boost performance . Additionally , rear suspension travel is increased to 3-inches ( 76.2mm ). On top of this , Harley is introducing selectable Ride Modes to the Street and Road Glides with both getting four modes to tailor the ride to the situation . That comes in the form of a Road , Sport , Rain and Custom which electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle . Further electronics updates come in the Infotainment system , which is powered by Skyline OS and displayed on a large 12.3-inch TFT colour touchscreen which replaces analogue instrumentation and most switches . While the loss of the old-school instruments is sure to upset some riders , new Street and Road Glide owners can drown them out thanks to a new 200-watt audio amplifier powering a pair of fairing-mounted speakers . Rounding out the redesign of the Road and Street Glides are improved aerodynamics to enhance rider comfort and reduce helmet buffeting at highway speed by an average of 60 per cent , according to H-D . A redesigned onepiece seat shape and padding materials offer a significant improvement in long-range comfort .
CVO ROAD GLIDE ST The new CVO Road Glide ST is in Harley ’ s own words , “ the quickest , fastest , and most sophisticated performance bagger ever produced by Harley-Davidson .” It sure looks it . With a massive 121 cubic inch ( 1982.83cc ) High Output Milwaukee-Eight at its heart , a deep solo seat and six-inch riser paired with a Moto handlebar put the rider in an aggressive , upright position with West Coast custom style . The CVO Road Glide ST will be offered in two premium paint choices : Golden White Pearl or Raven Metallic . A Screamin ’ Eagle graphic on the fairing sides and fuel tank is inspired by the Screamin ’ Eagle Harley-Davidson Factory motorcycles raced in the MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series . As part of the 25th anniversary of Custom Vehicle Operations , the bikes also feature CVO 25th Anniversary graphics to celebrate a milestone . The Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output V-Twin engine is exclusive to the CVO Road Glide ST , and is tuned to produce 126hp ( 94kW ) and 193Nm of torque – the most horsepower and torque ever from a production Harley-Davidson . A lower final drive ratio enhances acceleration performance in all gears . Alternate materials help reduce dry weight to 366kg ; the mufflers have lightweight titanium shells and forged carbon fibre end caps ; forged carbon fibre composite is used to form the front fender , seat cowl and tank console ; the oil pan is formed of lightweight composite ; and wheel design and wave-style front brake rotors reduce unsprung weight . All that grunt necessitates a need for control , and Harley has bestowed the CVO Road Glide ST with fully adjustable front and rear suspension ; Showa rear shocks with remote reservoirs are out back while in the front is an inverted 47mm Showa 1x1 fork . Stopping comes courtesy of Brembo . Like the new Road Glide and Street Glide , the CVO also gets ride modes , but also scores Track , Track Plus , and multiple Custom modes on top of the four base maps . In the cockpit , the infotainment technology is powered by Skyline OS . A colour touchscreen replaces all analogue instrumentation and most switches . A premium audio system features a 500-watt amplifier and Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate Stage II 6.5-inch fairing speakers .
