2026 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Limited
The King of the Highway Returns.The 2026 Road Glide Limited sets the new standard for long-haul touring built for two. The Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117 motor delivers unstoppable power, while heated seats, an all-new Grand Tour-Pak® with flush lighting, and a four-speaker, 200-watt audio system turn every mile into a story you and your passenger can share forever. This is as good as two-up touring gets.
Features may include:
NEW Grand Tour-Pak- Redesigned for 2026, the Grand Tour-Pak adds integrated speaker pods, flush LED lighting, a passenger backrest, and a top rack made for two-up comfort and clean, cohesive styling. Storage and comfort lead the way on the new Road Glide Limited.
- Rider and passenger each get direct, independent heat control right where it’s needed. Whether it’s a chilly morning start or high-altitude descent, on-seat controls make it easy to stay comfortable and focused on the road ahead.
- The new cast-aluminum wheels give the Road Glide Limited a sharper, more modern stance, with a split-spoke design that starts with 10 spokes that split into 20. Streamliner Collection components flow seamlessly across the bike, while saddlebag and engine guards complete the look.
- The taller, reshaped wind screen channels airflow cleanly around rider and passenger for smoother miles and less fatigue after those long days on the road. Its new profile flows naturally with the Road Glide Limited’s front end, cutting the wind just enough to stay comfortable without losing the commanding look and feel of the bike.
- Heated grips, highway pegs, and a heel shifter give you room to move and stay comfortable on long rides, while the 13-pound (5 kg) weight drop for the 2026 Road Glide Limited makes every twitch, flick, and shift feel smoother and more controlled. Together, they make the bike feel easier to handle and more relaxed over the miles.
- The most advanced touring motor Harley-Davidson has ever dropped into a standard factory production bike. With 106 hp (107 HP / 80kW @ 5020 rpm) and 131 ft-lb (175 Nm) of torque, it hits hard off the line whenever you want it to thanks to its Variable Valve Timing (VVT) . Liquid-cooled heads and a center-mounted radiator keep it running strong when the heat’s on, while Variable Valve Timing spreads the torque smoothly across the powerband.
