Beyond its robust engine, the CVO Road Glide is loaded with features designed to enhance your riding pleasure. The dual disc front brakes and single disc rear brakes with ABS ensure optimal stopping power, while the telescopic front fork and twin-shock rear suspension work harmoniously to deliver a ride that absorbs bumps with grace. The custom aesthetics, available in striking color options such as Sunset Orange/Sunset Black Fade and Black Hole/Red, elevate its look to a work of art. With a comfortable seat height of 25.9 inches and a generous fuel capacity of 6 gallons, it's built for long hours in the saddle without sacrificing comfort or convenience. **
