2026 ROAD GLIDE® 3*

Wide and in Stride

Engineered for improved comfort and confidence, the 2026 Road Glide 3 combines a newly redesigned Sharknose fairing with the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 and an all-new suspension system tuned for smooth, planted handling. Skyline OS, LED lighting all around, and standard Rider Safety Enhancements turn touring precision into confidence that puts you wherever you want to be. 

DESIGN

Brand New Sharknose Fairing

The Road Glide 3’s redesigned Sharknose fairing channels air cleanly around the rider and cuts through headwinds with less buffeting and more intent. The low-profile smoked windscreen keeps the look lean and aggressive while staying true to the Road Glide shape riders know by heart.

Gloss Black Cast Wheels

New cast-aluminum wheels finished in Gloss Black with machined accents give the Road Glide 3 a sharper edge and a stronger stance. Exposed rear lug nuts nod to classic hot-rod styling and offer pure function with a little attitude built in.

Redesigned Rear Fenders

Wider, reshaped rear fenders flow clean with the trike’s new chassis, giving the Road Glide 3 a broader stance and tougher look from every angle. Subtle surface changes and tighter fitment tie the design together with a low, purposeful attitude.

All-LED Lighting, Front to Back

From the signature headlamp to the rear, LEDs deliver bright, quick-responding illumination that enhances visibility and modern definition. See and be seen on late nights and long days with lighting integrated cleanly into the trike’s assertive stance.

Trunk Access + Passenger Comfort

A weather-sealed rear trunk swallows essentials through a top-mounted door, while the redesigned seat, reshaped passenger footboards, and soft-touch passenger grab handles keep miles easy. It’s practical where it matters and premium where you feel it—confidence and comfort for long hauls.

PERFORMANCE

Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 Motor

The Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 puts out strong, steady torque across the powerband for quick response from the Variable Valve Timing (VVT)technology, delivering  the kind of pull that’ll keep you grinning from ear to ear. Twin slash-down pipes give it a low, throaty sound that smacks right where it should: smooth when you’re cruising, mean when you get on it.

Completely Redesigned Rear Suspension

Engineered for trike dynamics, the new de Dion-style rear suspension replaces the previous live-axle design for a smoother, more planted ride. A redesigned chassis with dual emulsion shocks and a Watts linkage doubles wheel travel from 2.3 inches (58 mm) to 5 inches (127 mm) while cutting 68 pounds (30 kg) of unsprung weight. The wider rear track adds grip and stability through corners and confidence across rough pavement. 

Remote Preload Adjustment

Quickly dial in your setup for solo rides, passengers, or cargo using the conveniently relocated preload adjuster positioned below the left-side passenger footboard. Tool-free access makes it easy to fine-tune suspension response and maintain confident handling while you’re out there gettin’ after it. 

NEW Integrated Reverse Drive

The new reverse is built into the chassis-mounted differential, ditching the old electric motor and its extra weight. It’s tighter, tougher, and built to back you out like a pro.

INNOVATION

Skyline OS 12.3” (312 mm) Display with H-D Audio

A 12.3-inch (312 mm) TFT display powered by Skyline OS brings maps, media, and bike settings to your fingertips. The glove-friendly interface and integrated H-D Audio system built into the fairing deliver clean, crisp sound that holds its own against wind and freeway noise.

Rider Safety Enhancements

Confidence tech works quietly in the background: ELB/C-ELB, ABS/C-ABS, TCS/C-TCS, TPMS and DSCS/C-DSCS. Together they help manage traction, braking, and chassis behavior, backing up your inputs in straights and in corners without dulling the experience.

Selectable Ride Modes

Switch between four factory-tuned ride modes designed to match your mood and the conditions ahead. Road mode balances response for everyday miles, Rain softens inputs for low-traction surfaces, Sport sharpens throttle and engine braking for a more aggressive, connected feel, and Custom lets you dial in your own setup for the way you ride

“I took it out thinking I’d miss two wheels, but by the end of the ride I couldn’t stop smiling. It feels planted, sure. But it still has that attitude. It still feels alive.”
