Overview

Introducing the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUTG Tri Glide Ultra Classic, a motorcycle that epitomizes the spirit of freedom, comfort, and practicality. Designed for those who crave the open road but desire the stability and ease of a three-wheeler, the Tri Glide Ultra Classic stands as a testament to Harley-Davidson’s commitment to innovation and rider satisfaction. With a price tag starting at US$29,999, this model appeals to seasoned riders and newcomers alike who are searching for an all-around touring experience that blends classic styling with modern technology. At the heart of the Tri Glide is a robust 1687.97 ccm (103.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a formidable torque of 136.95 Nm (101.0 ft.lbs) at 3500 RPM. This impressive powertrain, paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and an efficient belt final drive, ensures a pleasurable ride whether you're cruising through city streets or embarking on long-distance adventures. The air-cooled engine, with a compression ratio of 9.6:1, offers a harmonious blend of performance and reliability, making it an ideal companion for any journey. Riders will find the handling to be surprisingly agile, thanks to the Tri Glide's unique three-wheel setup, which provides enhanced stability without sacrificing the exhilarating feel that Harley-Davidson is known for. The Tri Glide Ultra Classic is packed with features that enhance comfort and convenience. The bike boasts an impressive fuel capacity of 22.71 liters (6.00 gallons), ensuring you can cover long distances without frequent stops. The air-adjustable rear suspension and Triple Circuit Damping front forks offer a smooth ride, even on uneven terrain, while the double disc brakes—featuring Brembo up front and Hayes at the rear—provide reliable stopping power. A spacious rear luggage trunk ensures that you can pack all your essentials for a weekend getaway. With a low seat height of 698 mm (27.5 inches), the Tri Glide is welcoming for riders of varying heights, and its optional electric reverse makes maneuvering a breeze. **

Pros

  • Stability and Comfort: The three-wheel design provides excellent stability and comfort for long-distance rides.
  • Generous Storage: The rear luggage trunk offers ample storage space for gear, making it perfect for touring.
  • Powerful Engine: The 103 cubic inch engine delivers impressive torque and performance, providing a thrilling ride.

Cons

  • Price: With a starting price of US$29,999, it may be out of reach for some riders compared to other touring motorcycles.
  • Limited Off-Road Capability: The focus on touring means that the Tri Glide isn't designed for off-road adventures, limiting versatility.
