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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin Powertrain

The heart of the platform is the liquid-cooled Milwaukee-Eight® 117, tuned for real-world rideability with 130 ft-lbs of torque at 3250 rpm and 105 horsepower. Its smooth six-speed transmission and well-spaced gear ratios keep the engine in the sweet spot whether you are carving sweepers or cruising at highway speeds. A 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers underscores the distinct Harley-Davidson® sound while supporting efficient flow. With a 64-inch wheelbase and precise chassis geometry working in concert with the powertrain’s low-end punch, the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® feels planted, responsive, and ready for the longest detours.

Batwing Fairing, Next Generation

The latest Batwing fairing is more than a style icon — it is an aerodynamic upgrade engineered to reduce buffeting and guide air smoothly around the rider. All-LED signature lighting increases conspicuity and adds a modern edge to the timeless silhouette. The fairing integrates seamlessly with the cockpit to create a focused rider environment where controls, storage, and the display all feel cohesive. Contrast-cut wheels add visual energy, while the fairing’s updated contours complement the bike’s stance whether viewed head-on or in profile. For touring riders, this fairing elevates comfort and control by carving a calm pocket of air at speed.

Skyline™ OS 12.3-inch TFT Display

At the center of the cockpit is the Skyline™ OS system and its 12.3-inch full-color TFT display. The interface is quick to learn, bright in changing light, and easy to customize for map-first navigation, audio-first cruising, or a rider-information layout. Apple CarPlay works wired or wirelessly, while Bluetooth enables headset and phone/media support. Two 5.25-inch fairing speakers, powered at 50 W per channel, deliver clarity at speed. Voice recognition (phone dependent) and multiple language options expand usability, and integrated digital gauges keep your vital stats in view. The result is a connected touring experience that enhances, rather than distracts from, the ride.

Rider Safety Enhancements with Cornering Control

Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements support confident control in straight lines and through corners. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) manage brake pressure across both wheels, while Traction Control System (TCS) and Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) help moderate wheel slip under acceleration and deceleration. Cornering Enhanced systems — C-ABS, C-ELB, C-TCS, and C-DSCS — adapt intervention to lean angle to help the bike track with your chosen line. Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) assists with uphill starts, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) keeps you informed about tire status. These technologies stay in the background until you need them, adding a layer of reassurance in variable conditions.

Suspension, Geometry, and Long-Haul Ergonomics

A 49 mm Dual Bending Valve front fork and 3-inch dual outboard emulsion rear shocks with preload adjustability form a ride-tuned foundation for all-day stability. With a 26-degree rake, 6.7 inches of trail, and 32-degree lean angles left and right, handling feels neutral and predictable. The one-piece seat is made for miles, and the 26.4-inch laden seat height accommodates a wide range of riders. Dual floating front rotors with 4-piston calipers, a fixed rear rotor, and Dunlop® Harley-Davidson Series tires deliver consistent feedback. Together, the chassis and ergonomics reduce fatigue, turning long routes into trips you will want to extend.
