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

Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117

At the heart of the bike is the Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117, a 117 cu in powertrain engineered for strong, usable torque across the rev range. With 131 ft-lb of torque at 3,250 rpm and 106 HP at 4,600 rpm, acceleration is smooth and decisive — ideal for confident two-up touring and quick passes. Variable Valve Timing helps broaden the powerband and improve efficiency across real-world conditions. A 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers provides that distinctive Harley-Davidson® soundtrack without drone at cruise, while the six-speed gearbox offers relaxed highway rpm and a responsive downshift for grades or tight merges.

Skyline™ OS with 12.3-inch Full-Color TFT and Embedded Navigation

Touring is better when information is clear and accessible. Skyline™ OS centralizes navigation, audio, and bike data on a brilliant 12.3-inch full-color TFT display with intuitive menus and crisp graphics. Embedded navigation is there when you want built-in guidance, while wireless or wired Apple CarPlay makes it simple to integrate your smartphone for calls, media, and compatible apps. Four 6.5-inch speakers powered by 50 watts per channel (200 watts total across four speakers) deliver rich, clean sound. Digital gauges are integrated within the display, and Bluetooth pairing supports phones, media players, and headsets. Voice recognition for tuner/media/navigation is available in multiple languages, and USB-C keeps devices topped up on long days.

NEW Grand Tour-Pak® with Flush Lighting

Storage and passenger comfort are essential on a premium touring bike, and the all-new Grand Tour-Pak® is designed with both in mind. The integrated LED lighting complements the bike’s modern aesthetic while adding conspicuity. Inside, riders benefit from generous luggage capacity (over 5 cubic feet combined across luggage) that swallows weekend gear or cross-country essentials with room to spare. The fit and finish align with the Road Glide® Limited’s premium standard — from the flush lighting to the panel alignment — and the packaging keeps weight centralized for composed handling. Add genuine liners, organizers, or a luggage rack to tailor the setup to your travel style.

Redesigned Heated Seats with On-Seat Controls

Comfort is the key to stacking miles day after day. The redesigned heated rider and passenger seats now feature on-seat controls, so you can adjust warmth on the fly without diving into menus. The shape and density provide balanced support while still allowing you to move naturally as the road flows. Combined with the NEW tall wind screen, refined aerodynamics, available heated grips, and thoughtful ergonomics, the seat helps reduce fatigue and maintain focus. For riders who share the journey two-up, this is the kind of detail that pays off after hour four just as much as it does after hour fourteen.

Rider Safety Enhancements with Cornering Technology

Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements add a smart layer of confidence when traction or conditions change. Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS) and Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB) help the bike maintain the rider’s intended path when braking in a turn, while Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) manages drive when lean is introduced. Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) and Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS) help reduce rear-wheel slip during abrupt deceleration or downshifts. Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) assists with starts on inclines, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) keeps you current on tire status via the display. It all works in the background, preserving the natural feel of the motorcycle while supporting you in moments that matter.
