Key Features of the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin

The heartbeat of the 2026 Street Glide is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117, a liquid-cooled V-Twin tuned for strong low-end and midrange response. It produces 130 ft-lbs of torque at 3,250 rpm and 105 HP at 4,600 rpm, so roll-ons feel immediate and effortless, even two-up with luggage. Fuel delivery is managed by Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection, optimizing combustion efficiency for crisp throttle feel. A 6-speed transmission with well-spaced overall gear ratios supports relaxed highway cruising and responsive acceleration when you call for it. The 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers adds a deep, satisfying note without fatigue on longer rides. Thanks to a low 26.4 inch laden seat height and a balanced 64 inch wheelbase, the chassis harnesses that V-Twin thrust with stability and composure.

The Next Generation of Batwing Fairing

This Batwing Fairing evolves a design icon with a modern aerodynamic profile that manages wind more effectively across the rider triangle. The result is smoother airflow, reduced head buffeting at speed, and improved comfort over long distances. All-LED signature lighting is integrated for a clean, cohesive look that increases conspicuity to traffic while punching a bright, even beam down the road after dark. The fairing architecture also provides intuitive line-of-sight access to the 12.3 inch Skyline™ OS display and organizes rider controls for minimal reach and maximum confidence. Premium paint and graphics, including striking choices like Aurora Blue Denim, underscore the fairing’s crisp lines and contemporary stance, while fairing-mounted 5.25 inch speakers are positioned to deliver immersive audio without clutter.

Skyline™ OS 12.3 inch TFT Display

Touring is better when your information is fluid and your cockpit is uncluttered. The Skyline™ OS system brings a large, full-color 12.3 inch TFT display that centralizes navigation, media, and bike data with responsive touch controls and intuitive menus. Apple CarPlay is supported wirelessly or via USB-C, so you can integrate your favorite mapping and music apps, manage calls, and keep your focus forward. Bluetooth connects your headset and device for hands-free control, and voice recognition is supported in multiple languages. With 50 watts per channel powering two 5.25 inch fairing speakers, audio remains clear at speed. A robust vehicle information screen keeps tabs on essentials such as air temperature and oil pressure, while turn-by-turn guidance and phone connectivity bring a confident, modern touring experience to every ride.

Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements

Confidence grows when a motorcycle’s safety systems disappear into the background until they are needed most. The 2026 Street Glide features Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements that monitor traction and help stabilize the bike across a range of conditions. Anti-lock Brake System and Electronic Linked Braking work together to optimize braking force between the front and rear. Traction Control System and Drag-Torque Slip Control System help manage drive and deceleration forces, particularly during abrupt downshifts or on slick surfaces. Cornering Enhanced variants of these features (C-ABS, C-ELB, C-TCS, and C-DSCS) account for lean angle to better maintain the rider’s intended path mid-corner. Vehicle Hold Control is a hill-hold assist that prevents roll-back on ramps and grades, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts you to deviations so you can maintain grip and tire life.

Ride-Tuned Suspension and Chassis

Long-haul comfort and precise control are built into the Street Glide’s chassis. Up front, a 49 mm Dual Bending Valve fork provides confident, predictable damping that keeps the front tire planted over broken pavement and during hard braking. Out back, dual outboard emulsion shocks with three inches of travel and easy preload adjustability let you dial in comfort for solo rides or fully loaded trips. The cast aluminum wheels, Dunlop® Harley-Davidson Series bias blackwall tires, and dual front floating rotors with 4-piston calipers translate into steady tracking and secure braking feel. With 32 degrees of available lean angle to both sides and a 26 degree rake, the handling is neutral, composed, and happy to devour sweepers or thread through city avenues. A 6 gallon fuel tank, 2.42 cubic feet of luggage volume, and a one-piece seat designed for miles round out a package that is engineered for days, not minutes, in the saddle.
