Key Features of the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®

Milwaukee-Eight® 117

At the heart of the 2026 Street Glide® is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117, a liquid-cooled V-Twin tuned for smooth, accessible power across the rev range. On paper, it posts 105 HP and a stout 130 ft-lbs of torque at 3,250 rpm, and on the road it translates to effortless roll-on, relaxed passing, and confident two-up riding. The 6-speed transmission’s overall ratios are spaced to keep the engine in its sweet spot from city speeds to open highway, while Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) ensures crisp response. A 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers complements the engine’s character without droning at cruise. The result is a powertrain that feels lively when you want it and soothing when you simply want to settle in for the miles.

The Next Generation of Batwing Fairing

Harley-Davidson® refined the iconic Batwing fairing with modern aerodynamics and sharper lines, improving wind management while preserving the unmistakable Street Glide® silhouette. The design aims to stabilize airflow around the rider, helping reduce buffeting at speed and smoothing the pocket of air around your shoulders and helmet. Paired with contrast-cut wheels and All-LED signature lighting, the fairing integrates form and function for confident daytime visibility and a punchy nighttime beam pattern. Whether you’re threading through town or cruising on a windy stretch of highway, the fairing helps keep the ride calm and composed so you arrive less fatigued and more focused.

Skyline™ OS 12.3” TFT Display

The Skyline™ OS 12.3” TFT Display transforms the cockpit with a vibrant, full-color interface designed expressly for riders. Apple CarPlay (wireless or wired) delivers your favorite navigation apps, music, and calls through a simplified layout, while Bluetooth support keeps your phone connected to the bike and your headset. Voice recognition is supported for tuner, media, and navigation functions in multiple languages, and rider/passenger intercom capability is ready with compatible headsets. The digital gauges are integrated within the display for clean instrumentation, and vehicle information like air temperature and oil pressure is right where you expect it. With two 5.25-inch fairing speakers powered at 50 watts per channel, the audio stays clear at speed, and the overall interface is easy to read at a glance.

Rider Safety Enhancements

Rider Safety Enhancements and Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements are designed to step in during less-than-ideal conditions while remaining unobtrusive. Systems include Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Linked Braking (ELB), Traction Control System (TCS), Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS), Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Cornering variants of ABS, ELB, TCS, and DSCS (C-ABS, C-ELB, C-TCS, C-DSCS) take lean angle into account to help the motorcycle maintain composure during braking or acceleration while cornering. These features are not a substitute for rider judgment, but they are there to help the bike manage traction and braking forces when conditions change quickly—especially valuable on unfamiliar roads or in changing weather.

One-Piece Seat Made for Miles

Touring is only as enjoyable as your seat allows. The one-piece seat on the 2026 Street Glide® is designed to support a neutral, natural posture over time. It works with the ride-tuned rear suspension—3 inches of dual outboard emulsion travel with preload adjustability—and the 49mm dual-bending valve front fork to manage bumps without wallow or sharp jolts. The 26.4-inch laden seat height makes the bike approachable when you’re maneuvering at low speed or backing into a parking spot. Combined with the calm air pocket behind the Batwing fairing, the seat and chassis build a foundation for all-day comfort without compromising the planted, agile feel riders expect.
