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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117

The heart of the 2026 Street Glide is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117, a liquid-cooled V-Twin designed for immediate torque and refined touring power. With a 4.075 in. bore and 4.5 in. stroke, the 117 cu in. displacement and 10.3:1 compression deliver 130 ft-lbs of torque at 3250 rpm and 105 HP at 4600 rpm. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) manages fueling precisely for clean response at low speeds and strong pull on the highway, while the 6-speed gearbox’s overall ratios are spread for flexible everyday riding. A 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers supports smooth flow and a deep, unmistakable Harley-Davidson® tone. Whether rolling out from a neighborhood near Red Lion, PA or settling into a steady cruise across the state, the 117’s broad torque curve makes the Street Glide feel eager yet unruffled.

Next Generation Batwing Fairing

The Batwing fairing is an icon for a reason—it works. On the 2026 Street Glide, the next-generation design keeps the classic silhouette while optimizing wind management to reduce buffeting and ease long-day fatigue. The fairing’s sculpted surfaces guide air more predictably around the rider, while the fit with the windshield and mirrors helps maintain stability at speed and in crosswinds. This careful tuning isn’t just about comfort; it preserves the precise steering feel you expect when entering sweepers or navigating traffic. In front, all-LED signature lighting amplifies your presence with a clean, uniform beam. The result is a lighter-feeling front end that remains composed and communicative whether you are threading through scenic farm roads or crossing a ridgeline with gusty winds.

Skyline™ OS 12.3 in. TFT Display

Touring is easier when your tech works like a trusted co-rider. The Skyline™ OS infotainment system places a large 12.3 in. full-color TFT display within the Batwing fairing, unifying navigation, audio, and vehicle information on crisp, configurable screens. Touch and voice interactions are supported, and phone connectivity includes available Apple CarPlay (wireless or wired). Two 5.25 in. fairing speakers pair with 50 watts per channel to deliver rich audio that holds up at speed. Beyond entertainment, the display integrates bike data and settings, including ride modes and alerts, so you can adjust the Street Glide’s behavior with clarity. The interface supports multiple languages, Bluetooth headset pairing, AM/FM, and USB-C device support, making it simple to tailor your touring cockpit for everyday use or a multi-state adventure.

Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements

Confidence is the backbone of great touring. Harley-Davidson® equips the 2026 Street Glide with Rider Safety Enhancements designed to support you when conditions change. 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—C-ABS, C-ELB, C-TCS, and C-DSCS—take lean angle into account to help the motorcycle maintain the rider’s intended path when braking or accelerating in a curve. These technologies do not replace rider judgment; rather, they add a margin of control when traction is compromised or when an urgent maneuver demands stable, predictable responses. For everyday touring, that peace of mind is invaluable.

Ride-Tuned Suspension and Chassis

The Street Glide’s chassis is calibrated for long-haul smoothness and precise control. Up front, a 49 mm Dual Bending Valve fork delivers consistent damping and front-end feedback across bumps and braking zones. At the rear, 3 in. dual outboard emulsion shocks with preload adjustability help you dial in sag for solo rides or luggage and passenger loads. The wheelbase, rake, and trail work together for stability without dull steering response, and cast aluminum wheels contribute to a confident, planted feel. Electronic Linked Braking helps balance force between the front and rear brakes, while dual floating rotors and 4-piston calipers deliver strong stopping performance. The net effect is a touring motorcycle that feels reassuringly solid at highway speeds yet remains agile when the route narrows and the curves begin.
