The 2026 CVO Road Glide ST is Harley-Davidson’s race-inspired bagger at its most ruthless. Its Milwaukee-Eight™ 121 High Output motor delivers unbelievable power and performance, fed by a Heavy Breather intake and finished with titanium-capped mufflers. Forged carbon fiber details, tall risers with a factory moto-bar setup, remote-reservoir suspension, and specialized track modes give it the look and feel of a purpose-built weapon engineered to outpace everything around you.

Every inch of the 2026 CVO Road Glide ST was engineered to push harder, brake later, and accelerate sooner. Forged carbon, adjustable suspension, and the Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output motor define a bagger built to be bad, where race-inspired precision meets Harley-Davidson muscle.

A moto-style handlebar with six-inch risers sits taller for a more commanding, race-inspired riding position that makes riders feel snugged up straight from the Factory. Paired with Switchback Collection mini-boards and grips, it forms an aggressive rider triangle built for precision. Gloss Black Seven-Spoke wheels minimize mass for sharper response through every corner.
Available in three exclusive colorways — Citrus Heat Re-Entry, Inferno Gray, and Electric Coast — each one amplifies the CVO Road Glide ST’s race-inspired attitude. Citrus Heat Re-Entry, available only on this model, features a bold Screamin’ Eagle graphic across the fairing and tank, while Inferno Gray and Electric Coast showcase Harley-Davidson script and an oversized Bar & Shield. This bike looks every bit as fierce as it sounds.
The signature Sharknose fairing is both functional and fun, delivering exceptional aerodynamic performance and a menacing stance that defines the CVO Road Glide ST. A red-tinted windshield ties into Performance Red accents for a unified, track-inspired look that’ll make you feel like you’re the King of the Baggers. See what we did there?
The 2026 CVO Road Glide ST transforms power into pure exhilaration. Its Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output motor delivers 94 kW @ 5020 rpm and 193 Nm of torque, paired with adjustable SHOWA suspension, premium Harley-Davidson audio, and eight selectable ride modes — including Road, Rain, Sport, Track, Track+, and three Custom settings. Watch the video and join host Jessy Jess to see it all come alive.
The 2026 CVO lineup brings six new paint and graphic schemes that raise the bar for factory custom. From Citrus Heat Re-Entry Fade to Electric Coast Two-Tone, each finish uses advanced techniques like metallic fades, precision pinstriping, and PVD detailing. It’s custom-level style with Harley-Davidson reliability (and the factory warranty to match). In this video, host Becky Goebel takes us through all of them.
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 Motorcycle handle traction while you’re accelerating, braking, or slowing down. With the Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements, the Motorcycle even adjusts for cornering, keeping things smooth and steady without you having to think twice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
With Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), your Motorcycle’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.
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.
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.
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 Motorcycle to maintain the rider's intended path.
C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.
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.
