What to Know About the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra
Queen City Harley-Davidson® - What to Know About the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra delivers long-haul touring confidence wrapped in classic style. Built for riders who put serious miles under their wheels, it blends the iconic Batwing silhouette with refined aerodynamics, elevated comfort for two, and a robust suite of rider-focused technology. From the first glance at its sculpted fairing to the effortless thrust of its Milwaukee-Eight® powertrain, this Ultra takes the celebrated Street Glide® formula and adds the space, support, and stability that distance riders demand.
Comfort and design work in sync on the Street Glide® Ultra. The taller, clear windshield and reshaped fairing manage airflow more effectively, helping reduce helmet buffeting and fatigue across changing conditions. A thoughtfully contoured two-up seat rotates the rider’s hips for all-day back support, while the passenger benefits from a plush back pad with armrests. Generous storage is standard, anchored by the King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier and complemented by spacious saddlebags and fairing cubbies, so your essentials stay organized and within easy reach. Finished saddlebag guards add protection and polish.
Touring performance is equally advanced. The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin pairs strong torque with smooth, refined response, aided by liquid-cooled heads that help maintain power delivery across heat and elevation swings. Confidence comes from a suspension tuned for real roads, with dual outboard emulsion-technology rear shocks offering three inches of travel and easy, tool-free preload adjustment. Steering inputs feel precise and predictable, whether navigating urban avenues or carving through sweeping backroads with full luggage and a passenger aboard.
Technology enhances every mile. Center stage is a crystal-clear 12.3-inch TFT display running Skyline OS for intuitive infotainment, seamless navigation, and quick access to four selectable ride modes. Voice recognition supports natural, hands-free commands, helping you keep attention on the road while accessing directions or key functions. Rider Safety Enhancements add smart control features, including Vehicle Hold Control that helps prevent rollback on steep grades, complementing the bike’s underlying stability and braking performance.
