Overview

Introducing the 2015 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic, a quintessential touring motorcycle that embodies the spirit of the open road with its unmatched blend of comfort, technology, and iconic style. Designed for long-distance riders who crave adventure without sacrificing luxury, the Electra Glide Ultra Classic is a flagship model in Harley's touring lineup. With a starting price of $23,249 in the U.S., this bike is a testament to Harley-Davidson's dedication to craftsmanship and performance, ensuring that every journey is as enjoyable as the destination. At the heart of the Electra Glide Ultra Classic lies a robust 1687.97 ccm (103 cubic inches) V2 engine that delivers a potent 85.83 horsepower at 5,100 RPM and an impressive torque of 138 Nm at 3,250 RPM. This powerful four-stroke engine is not only about raw numbers; it transforms into a symphony of mechanical prowess, offering smooth acceleration and effortless cruising on highways. The 6-speed transmission and electronic sequential port fuel injection (ESPFI) work harmoniously together, allowing riders to seamlessly shift through gears while enjoying fuel efficiency of 5.60 litres per 100 km (42.00 mpg). Whether navigating through city traffic or embarking on a cross-country trek, the Electra Glide’s performance ensures that it handles with grace and confidence. The Electra Glide Ultra Classic is packed with features designed to enhance your riding experience. With an electric starter, cruise control, and a host of customizable color options like Black Magic and Mysterious Red Sunglo, this bike is as stylish as it is functional. The advanced braking system, featuring ABS on both front and rear double discs, provides superior stopping power for added safety. The inclusion of a spacious windshield and comfortable seating further reinforces the bike's touring credentials, ensuring that riders and passengers alike remain cozy during long journeys. Additionally, the optional alarm system provides peace of mind when parked, allowing riders to focus on their adventures. **

Pros

  • Comfortable Touring Experience: With a low seat height of 740 mm and an ergonomic design, it provides excellent comfort for both rider and passenger during long rides.
  • Strong Performance: The powerful V2 engine delivers impressive torque and horsepower, making it adept at highway cruising and city commuting alike.
  • Advanced Safety Features: Equipped with ABS brakes and a reliable electronic fuel injection system, it enhances control and safety on varied terrains.

Cons

  • Weighty Build: At 400.1 kg (882 lbs), the Electra Glide Ultra Classic may be cumbersome for some riders, especially in tight maneuvers or low-speed situations.
  • Higher Price Point: With a starting price of $23,249, it may be out of reach for budget-conscious riders, particularly when additional accessories and taxes are considered.
  • Fuel Tank Size: While the 22.71-litre fuel capacity is decent, some touring enthusiasts may prefer larger tanks for extended journeys with fewer fuel stops.
