Overview

Introducing the 2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra, a premium touring motorcycle that embodies the spirit of the open road with unmatched comfort and style. Designed for long-distance journeys and weekend getaways alike, the Road Glide Ultra stands out in Harley's lineup with its distinctive shark-nose fairing and advanced aerodynamics. With a price tag starting at US$26,299 in the U.S. and €28,495 in Europe, this motorcycle is tailored for those who seek adventure without compromising on luxury. Whether you’re cruising down the highway or navigating city streets, the Road Glide Ultra is engineered to provide a memorable riding experience. At the heart of the Road Glide Ultra is its formidable Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine. With a displacement of 1,753.52 cc, this V2 four-stroke powerhouse delivers a robust 91 horsepower at 5,450 RPM and an impressive torque of 152 Nm at 3,250 RPM. This translates into exhilarating acceleration and effortless highway cruising, making it ideal for both spirited rides and relaxed long-distance travel. The 6-speed gearbox, combined with a belt final drive, ensures smooth and responsive handling, while the multi-plate clutch with diaphragm spring operates seamlessly within an oil bath for enhanced durability. The motorcycle’s fuel efficiency, rated at 5.50 liters per 100 km (approximately 42.77 mpg), ensures that your journeys can stretch on without frequent fuel stops. The Road Glide Ultra is not just about performance; it’s packed with an array of features that enhance the riding experience. With its adjustable small windshield, you can tailor your wind protection for maximum comfort. The advanced infotainment system keeps you connected on the go, while cruise control allows for relaxed highway travel. Safety is paramount, with a double disc ABS braking system at the front and a single disc ABS at the rear, providing confidence in various riding conditions. Additionally, with multiple color options—ranging from Vivid Black to Mysterious Red Sunglo—riders can express their individuality while enjoying this remarkable touring machine. **

  • Powerful Engine: The Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine offers impressive torque and horsepower, delivering an exhilarating riding experience.
  • Advanced Features: Equipped with an infotainment system, cruise control, and ABS brakes, the Road Glide Ultra combines technology with safety and convenience.
