Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST, a pinnacle of touring excellence that seamlessly blends performance with unrivaled comfort. Positioned as a flagship model in Harley's Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) lineup, this motorcycle is designed for those who demand the best of both worlds: a powerful ride and luxurious features. With a price tag starting at US$ 42,999, the CVO Road Glide ST is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement, capturing the essence of long-distance touring while maintaining the rebellious spirit that Harley-Davidson is known for. At the heart of the CVO Road Glide ST lies the formidable Milwaukee-Eight® VVT121 High Output engine. This powerplant delivers a jaw-dropping torque of 196.6 Nm (145.0 ft-lbs) at just 4,000 RPM, ensuring exhilarating acceleration whether you're cruising along the highway or navigating winding backroads. The engine's 11.4:1 compression and sophisticated electronic sequential port fuel injection system promise not only robust power but also impressive fuel efficiency, averaging 5.23 liters per 100 km (44.98 mpg). Coupled with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and a reliable belt final drive, the Road Glide ST guarantees a ride that’s both thrilling and responsive, allowing riders to cover miles with ease and confidence. The CVO Road Glide ST doesn’t just excel in performance; it’s also packed with features that enhance the riding experience. The combination of 47 mm inverted front forks and an adjustable emulsion rear suspension allows for customized handling, whether you're riding solo or with a passenger. Advanced braking technology is evident with double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, both equipped with ABS for optimal stopping power. Riders can also enjoy the aesthetic appeal of two striking color options: Raven Metallic and Golden White Pearl, adding a touch of personal style to this luxurious machine. With a comfortable seat height of 678 mm (26.7 inches) and a generous fuel capacity of 22.71 liters (6.00 US gallons), the CVO Road Glide ST is built for those long hauls across the open road. **
