2026 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited tourers debut with upgrades

Improvements and updates to the 2026 Harley-Davidson (H-D) Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited touring motorcycles. Design changes were made to specific components to make the big touring rigs easier to ride and manage.

For the Street Glide Limited, a new H-D “Batwing” fairing features an updated design for improved aerodynamic efficiency and more comfort compared to the previous Ultra Limited fairing. This is aided by a new clear windshield 100 mm taller than the standard Street Glide model windscreen and shaped to provide aero comfort and protection.

The Street Glide Limited has also gone on a diet, now weighing 10.9 kg less than the previous 2024 Ultra Limited tourer. Weight was reduced where ever possible, making the Street Glide Limited easier to lift off the side stand, and making it easier to balance at a stop.

A new wheel design features a 10-spoke wheel – 19-inches in front and 18-inches at the rear – that splits to 20-spokes at the rim. The cast aluminum wheels feature black inner spokes and contrasting bright machine-finished spoke edges and rims.

There is also new accessories for the Street Glide Limited with rider footboards, passenger footboards, brake pedal pad, and highway pegs, inspired by the art-deco designs of the Streamliner era of the 1930s. Colour options for the Street Glide Limited in 2026 are Dark Billiard Gray (base), Vivid Black, White Onyx Pearl, Iron Horse Metallic, Brilliant Red, while Olive Steel Metallic/Vivid Black and Purple Abyss/Vivid Black are new options, all available in either chrome or black trim.

Meanwhile, the Road Glide Limited comes with a twin element headlight instead of the Street Glide’s single road LED unit, covered by a redesigned H-D “Sharknose” fairing. The fairing is mounted directly to the Road Glide’s frame, reducing steering effort in tight maneuvers at low speed and comes with a windshield 100 mm taller.

Weight has been reduced by 5.9 kg while other improvements are identical to the Street Glide Limited. Colour options for the Road Glide Limited in 2026 are also indentical to the Street Glide Limited with Dark Billiard Gray (base), Vivid Black, White Onyx Pearl, Iron Horse Metallic, Brilliant Red, while Olive Steel Metallic/Vivid Black and Purple Abyss/Vivid Black.

Power for the Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited comes from a Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 V-twin, displacing 1,923 cc. Engine power is claimed to be 106 hp at 4,600 rpm, with a maximum torque of 177 Nm at 3,500 rpm.

Variable valve timing improves average fuel efficiency by two to three percent with improved low-end performance. Cylinder head cooling further improves engine cooling during low speed riding and in hot weather.

Both H-D touring motorcycles come with four ride modes – Sport, Road, Rain and a custom mode for user preference. Electronic riding aids include cornering ABS, electronically linked brakes, cornering traction control, drag torque slip control, hill hold control and tyre pressure monitoring system.

Also upgraded is the on-board entertainment, displayed on a 12.3-inch TFT-LCD display with embedded navigation ad wireless connectivity the rider’s smartphone. An optional new four-channel 200-watt amplifier rated at 50 watts per channel powers Rockford Fosgate speakers, delivering 100 percent more power and improved sonic performance compared to the previous Boom Box system.
