Key Features of the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Limited

Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117

At the heart of the 2026 Road Glide® Limited is the Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117, a 117 cu in powertrain tuned for effortless highway pull and smoothness. Variable Valve Timing broadens the torque curve for stronger midrange thrust—ideal for two-up touring and passing at speed. With 106 HP at 4,600 rpm and 131 ft-lb of torque at 3,250 rpm, the engine answers with immediate response without constant downshifts. The 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers helps maintain a mellow, authoritative tone while supporting efficient exhaust flow. Coupled with a six-speed transmission and overall gear ratios chosen for highway composure, the powertrain stays relaxed at cruise yet eager to accelerate when needed.

Skyline™ OS with Embedded Navigation

The cockpit centers on a 12.3-inch full-color TFT display running Skyline™ OS with embedded navigation. Turn-by-turn guidance, vivid mapping, and an intuitive interface make route planning straightforward, and on-screen digital gauges keep vital information easy to read. Apple CarPlay (wireless or wired) is supported, and Bluetooth integration allows hands-free phone and headset connections. The four-speaker, 200-watt audio system—two 6.5-inch fairing speakers and two 6.5-inch Tour-Pak speakers—delivers clear sound at highway speeds. Voice functions support key commands in multiple languages, and the system’s responsiveness makes it simple to manage media, calls, and nav cues without taking focus off the road.

NEW Grand Tour-Pak® with Integrated LED Lighting

Storage meets style with the NEW Grand Tour-Pak®, featuring flush, integrated LED lighting that adds conspicuity and a premium look. With 5.05 cu ft of total luggage capacity across the Tour-Pak and saddlebags, there is room for full-face helmets, layers, and essentials for two-up travel. The interior is shaped to maximize usable space, and the hardware is designed for durability and consistent latching. Streamlined contours complement the Road Glide® silhouette, and components from the NEW Streamliner Collection and 10-spoke wheels provide a cohesive, upscale appearance. It is practical luxury—a hallmark of Harley-Davidson® long-haul design.

Redesigned Heated Seats with On-Seat Controls

Two-up comfort goes to the next level with redesigned heated seats and easy-access on-seat controls for both rider and passenger. Supportive shaping helps evenly distribute weight and reduce hot spots on longer days, while the materials resist weather and wear. When the temperatures drop, adjustable warmth helps maintain comfort without bulky layers. The seating position pairs well with the Road Glide® cockpit and supports natural reach to the bars and mid-controls, while the available heated grips, highway pegs, and heel shifter further dial in a relaxed, all-day posture.

Tuned SHOWA® Suspension and Refined Aerodynamics

Grand American Touring comfort depends on stability and control, and the 2026 Road Glide® Limited leverages tuned SHOWA® components to deliver both. Up front, 1.9-inch Dual Bending Valve forks respond predictably to imperfect pavement, while the rear setup uses dual adjustable emulsions shocks with remote preload adjustment on the left and threaded preload on the right. Balanced cast aluminum wheels and dual floating front rotors provide confident steering and braking. The frame-mounted fairing contributes to calm airflow and reduced rider fatigue, and the NEW Tall Wind Screen helps limit buffeting for rider and passenger. The result is a composed ride with clear feedback, even when the road turns unpredictable.
