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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117

The liquid-cooled Milwaukee-Eight® 117 anchors the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® with a strong, tractable powerband that shines in everyday traffic and on wide-open stretches. With an estimated 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lbs of torque peaking around 3,250 rpm, the engine pulls smartly from low speeds and holds steady, confident power through midrange. The 6-speed gearbox provides relaxed highway rpm, and the 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers delivers a refined, authoritative note without droning on long rides. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection optimizes delivery for smooth throttle response. The result is a powertrain that feels responsive in the city, unflustered on the interstate, and composed on sweepers—exactly what a modern Grand American Touring motorcycle should deliver.

The Next Generation of Batwing Fairing

The Batwing fairing remains a signature element, and the 2026 design advances form and function. Sculpted to reduce buffeting and manage airflow, the silhouette supports a calmer cockpit while preserving that unmistakable Street Glide® stance. Contrast-cut wheel options and integrated LED lighting amplify the premium, modern aesthetic. The fairing’s purposeful shape pairs with a finely tuned chassis to help the motorcycle feel planted yet agile—confidence that pays off when threading through city flow or leaning into highway sweepers. It is a timeless look, refined for today’s conditions and longer days in the saddle.

Skyline™ OS 12.3 in. TFT Display

Front and center sits the Skyline™ OS 12.3 in. full-color TFT screen—a connected command hub for navigation, media, and phone features. The large display renders maps and menus with clarity, helping riders scan key information at a glance. Apple CarPlay compatibility, available wired or wireless, enables familiar app access and turn-by-turn guidance when paired with a compatible device. Voice functions can be phone-dependent, and rider-passenger intercom capability is supported via compatible headsets. With 50 watts per channel and two 5.25 in. fairing speakers, audio remains crisp. The display also integrates digital gauges, tire pressure alerts via TPMS, and vehicle information screens, consolidating what matters into one intuitive interface built for touring.

Rider Safety Enhancements

Available Rider Safety Enhancements add supportive technologies designed to help when traction or conditions change. Systems include Anti-lock Brake System, Electronic Linked Braking, Traction Control System, Drag-Torque Slip Control System, Vehicle Hold Control, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Cornering-enhanced variants such as C-ABS, C-ELB, C-TCS, and C-DSCS add further sophistication, accounting for lean angle when braking or accelerating. These systems are engineered to assist—quietly and in the background—so that braking feels balanced, takeoffs on inclines feel composed, and throttle application feels more predictable on compromised surfaces. It is peace of mind without adding complexity to the ride.

One-Piece Seat Made for Miles

A supportive, one-piece seat underscores the Street Glide® mission of lasting comfort. The laden seat height is approximately 26.4 in., aiding flat-foot confidence at stops while keeping the rider positioned in a natural, all-day posture. Ergonomics pair with ride-tuned rear suspension—3 in. dual outboard emulsion shocks with preload adjustability—and a 49 mm dual bending valve front fork to maintain control and comfort over patchwork pavement. Between the seat, floorboards, and bars, the Street Glide® cockpit feels intuitive, which reduces fatigue whether navigating avenues near New York City or clicking off miles across state lines.
