2026 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Solo Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Built For the Long Way Home.
From its wind-cutting Batwing fairing and contrast-cut wheels to its Milwaukee-Eight 117 motor, premium audio, and connected Skyline OS display, the 2026 Street Glide turns long-haul performance and modern tech into something bigger. A ride that feels like home no matter how far you go.

The Next Generation of Batwing Fairing
Shaped by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to push clean air around the rider, the Street Glide’s iconic and newly redesigned iconic Batwing fairing cuts down helmet buffeting and makes hours in the saddle feel a whole lot shorter.

All-LED Signature Lighting
Daytime Running Light headlamp, integrated turn signals, and a slim LED taillight give the Street Glide a modern glow that stands out in traffic and engineered to fit the bike’s clean lines.

Contrast-Cut Wheels
Lightweight cast-aluminum wheels with a bold contrast-cut finish sharpen the Street Glide’s stance and provide the kind of feedback riders can appreciate when the road starts to twist

Premium Paint + Graphics
The 2026 Street Glide debuts five bold new colorways — Blood Orange, Purple Abyss, Aurora Blue Denim, Olive Steel with Vivid Black, and Teal Thunder with Vivid Black — joining Dark Billiard Gray and Vivid Black. Because a bike built to roam should look just as good standing still.

One-Piece Seat Made for Miles
Sculpted to flow with the Street Glide’s lines and engineered to keep you comfortable on long hauls, the Street Glide’s one-piece seat keeps you planted, supported, and ready for the next hundred miles… then the hundred after that.

Milwaukee-Eight 117 That’s All Go
The Milwaukee-Eight 117 delivers 105 HP and 130 ft-lbs. of torque, with liquid-cooled heads and a center-mounted radiator to keep both performance and rider comfortable when the temps climb, whether you’re crawling through traffic or chasing sky.

Rear Suspension, Your Way
Whether you’re rolling solo or loaded for two-up touring, the easily adjustable rear suspension lets you fine-tune preload in seconds. Dial it in for plush comfort or sharpen it up for spirited backroad runs

High-Performance Touring Intake
More volume. More airflow. More reason to twist the throttle. The high-performance touring intake feeds the Milwaukee-Eight 117 exactly what it wants. More volume. More airflow. More reason to crack it open.

Skyline OS 12.3” TFT Display
A bright, glove-friendly color touchscreen that replaces all analog gauges and most switches, putting navigation, music, and bike data in one clean, easy-to-use layout.

Selectable Ride Modes
Dial up Road, Sport, Rain, or your own Custom setup, and the Street Glide reshapes itself. Imagine throttle, traction, and braking tuned to the ride you want right now

Standard Rider Safety Enhancements
Cornering ABS, Cornering Traction Control, and other tech step in when you need them, helping you hold your line even when the road doesn’t.

Ride Loud with Premium Sound
A 200-watt, 4-channel amp drives in-fairing speakers tuned to cut through wind and engine noise, so your soundtrack rides with you, loud and clear.

 

RIDER SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS
Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements is all about giving you that extra peace of mind when things get a little unpredictable. It’s a set of smart tech that steps in during tricky situations, helping the bike handle traction while you’re accelerating, braking, or slowing down. With the Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements, the bike even adjusts for cornering, keeping things smooth and steady without you having to think twice.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation.

Electronic Linked Braking (ELB)
This feature electronically applies braking effort to both wheels when the rider applies the front brake lever and, on some models when the rider applies the rear brake pedal. ELB can help many riders achieve better braking performance. It boosts braking power when needed while minimizing or stopping the linking for lighter braking or at lower speeds.

Traction Control System (TCS)
The TCS is designed to keep the rear wheel from “spinning out” when the motorcycle is accelerating in a straight line and enhances rider confidence.

Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS)
DSCS is designed to reduce excessive rear-wheel slip and help prevent rear-wheel lock under powertrain-induced deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt downshift gear change or quickly reduces the throttle while on wet or slippery road surfaces.

Vehicle Hold Control (VHC)
With Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), your bike’s not rolling anywhere until you’re ready to go. Perfect for hill starts or ramps, VHC keeps the brakes locked after you let go, giving you a smooth, confident launch. Just give the brake lever or pedal a quick squeeze at a stop, and VHC has you covered until you’re ready to roll. Heads up: this isn’t a parking brake replacement, but it sure makes those uphill take-offs a breeze.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
TPMS alerts the rider through the information display to low or high tire air pressure. Maintaining proper tire air pressure is important both for vehicle performance and tire life.

Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS)
C-ABS is a variant of ABS that takes into consideration the lean angle of a two-wheel motorcycle, or the lateral acceleration of a Trike model. The brake pressure required to limit wheel slip when cornering is typically or lower than the pressure required under straight line operation.

Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB)
C-ELB takes into account the motorcycle lean angle or Trike lateral acceleration. C-ELB will alter the proportioning of brake pressure between the front and rear brakes when braking while cornering in an attempt to improve the ability of the bike to maintain the rider’s intended path.

Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS)
C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.

Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS)
On bikes equipped with C-DSCS, the system helps keep the rear wheel from slipping or locking up when you quickly downshift or let off the throttle, especially on wet or slippery roads. When turning, it can adjust based on how much a two-wheel bike is leaning or the side-to-side motion on a Trike.
