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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117

The heart of this motorcycle is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117, a liquid-cooled V-Twin that makes 105 HP and 130 ft-lbs of torque, breathing through a 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers for a signature note at speed. A precise Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system optimizes combustion for crisp throttle response, while a 10.3:1 compression ratio and refined cooling strategies help sustain performance during hot-weather climbs or low-speed traffic. Well-matched gear ratios let you use the engine’s torque everywhere—pulling smoothly from low rpm and settling into effortless highway cadence. The result is relaxed, tractable power that turns long days into easygoing runs, with enough overhead for passing, two-up touring, or fully loaded bags without drama.

The Next Generation of Batwing Fairing

Harley-Davidson® refined the Batwing fairing to enhance rider comfort and stability without compromising its iconic look. Aerodynamic shaping helps reduce pressure on the rider’s chest and directs turbulent air away from the helmet area, limiting fatigue over extended stretches. The fairing integrates All-LED Signature Lighting, providing a clean, bright spread ahead that improves visibility and presence in changing light. The fairing’s structure also serves as a stable home for premium audio and the Skyline™ OS display, so controls, navigation, and information stay planted and readable even over rough pavement. Paired with contrast-cut wheels and premium paint options like Aurora Blue Denim, the updated Batwing builds presence you feel at speed and admire every time you park.

Skyline™ OS 12.3 in. TFT Display

At the center of the cockpit is a 12.3 in. full-color TFT running Skyline™ OS—your command hub for navigation, media, and bike data. Apple CarPlay (wired or wireless) and Bluetooth connectivity streamline calls and audio, while intuitive menus and digital gauges prioritize the right information at the right time. The interface supports multiple languages, voice recognition for core functions, and a vehicle information screen that can show air temperature and oil pressure. Two 5.25 in. fairing speakers driven by 50 watts per channel deliver clear audio at speed, and a USB-C port supports smartphones and media. With turn-by-turn navigation and thoughtful layout, the display helps you stay oriented and in control without distraction, making long days feel organized and stress-free.

Rider Safety Enhancements

Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements add a thoughtful layer of control when conditions get unpredictable. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) balance stopping forces, while Traction Control System (TCS) curbs rear-wheel spin during straight-line acceleration. Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) helps maintain stability under abrupt deceleration or downshifts, and Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) keeps the bike steady on hills until you roll on. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) keeps you up to date on inflation for optimal performance and tire life. Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements—C-ABS, C-ELB, C-TCS, and C-DSCS—consider lean angle to refine intervention when braking, accelerating, or downshifting in turns. These features aim to preserve your intended line and bolster your confidence when traction varies.

Ride-Tuned Rear Suspension and One-Piece Seat

Comfort starts with fundamentals. Up front, a 49 mm Dual Bending Valve fork delivers consistent damping over sharp bumps and ripples, helping the tire maintain contact for steering precision. In back, 3 in. dual outboard emulsion shocks with preload adjustability let you dial in for luggage or a passenger. The chassis dimensions balance stability and agility—a 64 in. wheelbase and 26 degrees of rake target composed highway manners without dulling low-speed control. The one-piece seat supports a neutral, all-day posture, while a 26.4 in. laden seat height helps many riders find secure footing. Add Dunlop Harley-Davidson Series tires, robust brake hardware, and cast-aluminum wheels, and the platform feels predictable and planted from departure to destination.
