Introducing the 2011 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUTG Tri Glide Ultra Classic, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of freedom and adventure while delivering unparalleled comfort and stability. Positioned in the all-rounder category, this three-wheeled marvel is perfect for riders seeking a blend of classic Harley-Davidson styling with modern engineering. With a price tag of $30,499, it caters to those who crave the open road while enjoying the advantages of three-wheel dynamics, making it an excellent choice for touring enthusiasts and those with varying riding abilities. At the heart of the Tri Glide Ultra Classic is a robust 1687.97 ccm (103.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a formidable torque of 137 Nm (101.1 ft-lbs) at 3500 RPM. This powertrain, featuring electronic sequential port fuel injection, ensures smooth acceleration and responsive handling. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, riders can enjoy a thrilling ride, whether cruising down the highway or navigating through city streets. The air-cooled engine, with a compression ratio of 9.6:1, delivers that quintessential Harley rumble, inviting adventure and exploration at every turn. The Tri Glide Ultra Classic isn’t just about performance; it’s packed with features that enhance the riding experience. The frame is specifically designed for three-wheel stability, combining a mild steel, square-section backbone with twin downtubes for increased strength and rigidity. Riders will appreciate the Triple Circuit Damping (TCD) front forks and air-adjustable rear suspension, providing a comfortable ride over various terrains. The motorcycle is equipped with a 22.71-litre fuel tank, ensuring long-distance touring capabilities, while the electric starter and optional electric reverse add convenience for handling this beast. With available colors like Vivid Black and Cool Blue Pearl, the Tri Glide Ultra Classic also stands out on the road, reflecting the rider's personality. **

Pros

  • Stability and Comfort: The three-wheel design offers enhanced stability and a comfortable riding position, making it ideal for long-distance touring.
  • Powerful Engine: The robust V2 engine provides ample torque and smooth power delivery, ensuring an exhilarating ride.
  • Ample Storage: Equipped with a spacious rear luggage trunk, it allows for long trips without sacrificing convenience.

Cons

  • Weight Considerations: The Tri Glide is heavier than traditional two-wheel motorcycles, which can be a factor for some riders.
  • Higher Price Point: At nearly $30,500, it may not fit everyone's budget, especially when compared to two-wheel models.
  • Limited Maneuverability: Due to its size and design, navigating tight corners or crowded spaces can be more challenging than with a traditional motorcycle.
