The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® demonstrates engineering precision and advanced integration of performance, safety, and technology. This Custom Vehicle Operations™ model is designed to combine long-distance touring capability with premium factory specifications. Built for riders who expect advanced power delivery, optimized handling, and consistent rider support systems, it represents a focused approach to motorcycle innovation.
Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 Engine
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 V-Twin engine. This powertrain produces 115 horsepower and 139 ft-lb of torque. The addition of variable valve timing allows adjustments based on engine speed to deliver optimal performance across a wide range of conditions. Fuel economy is measured at 45 mpg, aligning strong output with efficient fuel use.
Liquid-cooled cylinder heads maintain performance under demanding operation, while a high-flow exhaust system supports efficient combustion and sustained output. The result is an engine capable of strong acceleration along with consistent touring power. The displacement and tuning reflect the brand’s focus on mechanical reliability and modernized delivery of torque and horsepower.
Precision Suspension and Control
Suspension is engineered for adaptability in touring and performance environments. The front forks consist of 47 mm SHOWA® inverted units designed to provide comfort on highways while delivering controlled response in sharper maneuvers. At the rear, asymmetric shocks allow preload adjustments. This enables the rider to quickly calibrate suspension settings based on changes in load or riding preference.
Together, these systems improve stability and maintain consistent handling. The balance between suspension geometry and braking performance ensures predictability on uneven surfaces and confidence in both slow and high-speed environments.
Braking Components and Wheel Design
The braking system is built with Brembo® components to deliver precision and power. The integration of Electronic Linked Braking distributes force between the front and rear wheels when activated, and this distribution adjusts automatically based on input and conditions. This technology enhances stability during deceleration, creating a consistent feel in both light and aggressive braking scenarios.
Unique cast aluminum wheels reduce weight while maintaining strength. Their design was created specifically for the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide®, adding performance advantages by minimizing unsprung mass. These wheels work in tandem with the braking system to improve responsiveness, control, and overall safety.
Refined Exterior Detailing
The exterior design of the motorcycle demonstrates the attention of Harley-Davidson® to fit and finish. Premium multi-layer paint delivers depth and texture with color options including Raven Fade, Poison Berry, and Blue Streak. Each scheme includes matching inserts and finishes coordinated with the paint. This ensures a cohesive look across trim, chrome, and body components.
Integrated LED signature lighting removes the need for external indicators, producing a streamlined and continuous design. The aerodynamic Batwing fairing has been developed through wind tunnel testing to provide stability at highway speeds while reducing helmet buffeting. Every aspect of the exterior reflects function-driven engineering paired with precision detailing.
Ergonomics and Comfort
The seating design places the rider in a neutral spine position to reduce strain during extended operation. A laden seat height of 26.7 inches provides accessibility and balance for a wide range of riders. Aero Comfort technology further contributes to comfort by minimizing turbulence, particularly during sustained highway speeds.
These features support long-distance touring by combining ergonomic seating, aerodynamic stability, and responsive suspension. Together, they deliver consistent comfort without limiting the motorcycle’s performance capabilities.
Advanced Infotainment and Connectivity
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® is equipped with the Skyline™ OS, a connected infotainment platform designed for intuitive navigation. The 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen provides a clear display of ride modes, mapping, and entertainment. Its layout reduces clutter, keeping information accessible without distraction.
Wi-Fi connectivity allows for continuous updates, while menu navigation has been designed for quick adjustments during operation. Audio performance is delivered by the Rockford Fosgate® Stage II system integrated into the fairing and saddlebag lids. This configuration produces a surround-sound experience engineered for clarity and balance at various speeds.
Ride Modes and Rider Interface
Selectable ride modes allow the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the motorcycle. This includes throttle response, engine braking, and power delivery. The system is accessed through the TFT display and controlled via intuitive handlebar-mounted inputs.
This integration provides flexibility for different environments, from city travel to long-distance highway cruising. It ensures that the rider can tailor the motorcycle’s performance profile to suit specific riding conditions.
Rider Safety Enhancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® integrates the most comprehensive suite of Rider Safety Enhancements from Harley-Davidson®. These features work in the background to support traction, braking, and stability.
The Anti-lock Braking System prevents wheel lock during sudden stops. Cornering ABS expands this capability by accounting for lean angle to apply appropriate braking pressure in turns. Electronic Linked Braking further balances force between the wheels, while its cornering-enhanced version adjusts distribution in leaned positions.
The Traction Control System maintains stability during acceleration. The cornering-enhanced system adapts this control when leaned, ensuring confidence in turns. Drag-Torque Slip Control minimizes rear-wheel lock caused by rapid downshifts or throttle reduction. The cornering version provides the same control during lean angles.
Vehicle Hold Control secures the motorcycle on inclines, enabling smooth starts without rollback. Tire Pressure Monitoring continuously measures air pressure and alerts the rider to changes that may affect performance or safety.
Integrated Performance and Touring Engineering
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® brings together advanced mechanical, technological, and safety systems into a single platform. Its Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 engine provides measurable gains in both torque and horsepower while maintaining efficient fuel consumption. Suspension and braking components support stability and control across diverse surfaces.
Exterior detailing emphasizes functional design elements such as aerodynamic testing and integrated lighting. Infotainment and audio systems ensure connectivity and clarity without distraction. Rider Safety Enhancements provide confidence in varying conditions through electronic support that works without interrupting the riding experience.
