FIRST LOOK: HARLEY-DAVIDSON STREET GLIDE ULTRA 2025 LUXURY TOURING REDEFINED PUBLISHED 06.02.2025 Harley-Davidson has always set the benchmark for touring motorcycles, and the 2025 Street Glide Ultra is no exception. Combining classic batwing fairing styling with modern comfort, cutting-edge technology, and effortless performance, this motorcycle is built for riders who want to cover serious miles in complete luxury. With heated grips, a plush two-up seat, premium wind protection, and ample storage, the Street Glide Ultra is designed to keep you and your passenger comfortable on every journey, whether cruising through the UKs rolling countryside or embarking on a cross-country adventure. TIMELESS DESIGN WITH TOURING-OPTIMISED COMFORT The Street Glide Ultra maintains the iconic batwing fairing, but for 2025, it has been redesigned with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel testing for improved aerodynamics. The new tall windshield is 101.6 mm taller than the standard Street Glide, significantly reducing helmet buffeting by up to 60 percent, keeping both the rider and passenger shielded from the wind. A two-up comfort seat ensures all-day support, rotating the riders hips slightly forward to relieve spinal pressure. Whether tackling city traffic or gliding down the open road, this design allows for a more relaxed and upright riding position, making long journeys more enjoyable. The King Tour-Pak luggage carrier not only provides a sturdy backrest with armrests for the passenger but also adds hard-shell storage, fairing cubbies, and large saddlebagsgiving you 0.139m of total storage space, more than double that of a standard Street Glide. Each Street Glide Ultra features a new fuel tank medallion, available in chrome or black to match the bikes trim. Saddlebag guards, finished to match the bikes styling, provide additional protection against tip-overs, ensuring that both aesthetics and practicality are perfectly balanced. POWER AND PRECISION TO LEAD THE PACK Harley-Davidson has equipped the Street Glide Ultra with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine, offering even more torque and horsepower than the Twin-Cooled 114. The liquid-cooled cylinder heads and centrally located radiator help manage heat efficiently, channelling air directly into the intake for faster cooling and consistent power delivery. This performance-focused touring machine is supported by SHOWA dual outboard emulsion technology rear shocks, offering 76.2 mm of travel. The remote hydraulic preload adjustment allows for easy, tool-free tuning, ensuring a smooth ride regardless of the road conditions or passenger load. Handling is further enhanced with new fairing lowers and fork-mounted air deflectors, engineered to improve aerodynamic comfort and airflow. The adjustable fairing lowers allow for a custom airflow experience, while the larger fork-mounted air deflectors can either block wind for added protection or increase airflow for cooling, depending on the riders preference. The redesigned fairing skirt, paired with the new lowers, enhances wind management and overall riding comfort, making long-distance touring effortless. The 2025 Tiger Sport 660 on-road in Crystal White TECHNOLOGY THAT ELEVATES EVERY RIDE The Street Glide Ultra is packed with advanced technology, making every journey as seamless and connected as possible. At the heart of the rider experience is the 312 mm TFT touchscreen display, the most advanced system Harley-Davidson has ever offered. Featuring Skyline OS, this crystal-clear, full-colour interface provides easy access to infotainment, navigation, and ride modes at the touch of a button. Navigation is designed to be intuitive and hands-free, thanks to voice recognition commands. A simple request like "Find me a petrol station" allows riders to get directions without taking their hands off the bars. Rider safety has also been prioritised with Vehicle Hold Control, which helps keep the bike steady when stopped on inclines or declines. A simple squeeze and release of the front brake lever activates the system, preventing unwanted movement and allowing for controlled starts. With four selectable ride modes, riders can tailor their riding experience depending on road conditions, riding style, or personal preference. Whether cruising on motorways or navigating twisty countryside roads, the Street Glide Ultra delivers a smooth, customisable ride that enhances both confidence and control.
