Overview

Introducing the 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, a quintessential touring motorcycle that seamlessly blends classic American design with modern performance and technology. With a price starting at $25,999, the Road Glide is positioned to appeal to both seasoned riders and newcomers seeking an exhilarating yet comfortable long-distance cruising experience. Its iconic shark-nose fairing isn't just a nod to Harley’s storied heritage; it’s designed to enhance aerodynamics and provide superior wind protection, making it an ideal companion for the open road. At the heart of the Road Glide lies Harley-Davidson's Milwaukee-Eight™ 117 engine, a powerhouse that displaces 1917.4cc (117 cubic inches) and delivers a robust 105 horsepower at 4600 RPM. Riders will appreciate the generous torque of 176.3 Nm (130 ft-lbs) at just 3250 RPM, allowing for smooth acceleration and confident overtaking on highways. The 6-speed gearbox ensures that shifts are seamless, while the electronic sequential port fuel injection optimizes fuel delivery for an impressive fuel efficiency of 5.35 liters per 100 km (43.97 mpg). Whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating winding backroads, the Road Glide promises a responsive and exhilarating ride. The Road Glide boasts an array of key features that enhance comfort and control, making it perfect for long journeys. Its 49mm Dual Bending Valve front suspension and adjustable rear suspension provide a plush ride, absorbing bumps and ensuring stability. Safety is paramount, with optional ABS brakes that offer confident stopping power. Riders can choose from an array of stunning color options, including Vivid Black and Whiskey Fire, allowing for personalized expression. With a spacious 22.71-liter fuel tank, you can venture farther between fill-ups, and a low seat height of 676 mm (26.6 inches), adjustable for comfort, ensures that riders of all sizes can find their perfect position. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The Milwaukee-Eight™ 117 offers strong acceleration and impressive torque for a thrilling ride.
  • Comfortable Touring Capabilities: Designed for long-distance travel with excellent wind protection and adjustable suspension.
  • Customizable Aesthetics: A variety of vibrant color options allows riders to express their personal style.

Cons

  • Weight: At 802 lbs (363.8 kg), the Road Glide may feel heavy at low speeds for some riders.
  • Price Point: While competitive for a touring motorcycle, the starting price might be a barrier for entry-level riders.
  • Fuel Efficiency: While decent for its class, it may not rival lighter touring bikes in terms of fuel economy.
