New Street Glide® Ultra Model with Advanced Touring Comfort and Power Three Limited-Production CVO™ Models with High-Performance Milwaukee-Eight® Engines
MILWAUKEE, WI – January 25, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Harley-Davidson further advances the performance, technology and style of its Cruiser, Grand American Touring and Custom Vehicle Operation™ (CVO™) motorcycle models powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin powertrain for 2025. For the coming season, Harley-Davidson offers riders the market’s broadest range of large-displacement motorcycle models.
2025 Cruiser Models Feature New Power and Technology
The Harley-Davidson® Cruiser motorcycle collection is infused with new technology, elevated performance and refreshed styling. The Cruiser lineup remains the most diverse in the Harley-Davidson® motorcycle portfolio. Each of six very distinctive motorcycles represents a specific stylistic personality, from nostalgic to high performance to boldly custom. The Harley-Davidson® Softail® chassis with hidden mono shock rear suspension underpins each Cruiser motorcycle. The 2025 Cruiser line includes the following models: Low Rider® S, Low Rider® ST, Breakout®, Heritage Classic, Fat Boy® and Street Bob®.
Three New Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Powertrains – The 2025 Cruiser models will be powered by one of three new Milwaukee-Eight® 117 powertrain variants with new cylinder heads, throttle body and intake manifold. Each is tuned – through difference in intake and exhaust scheme and ride mode programming – to offer performance that matches the personality of a specific Cruiser model and the anticipated expectations of that model’s customer. Each engine is Euro V+ Compliant (2024 emissions standards). Shared features of these engines include:
- NEW Four-Valve Cylinder Heads feature the combustion chamber shape, oval intake ports and low-profile intake valve seats as introduced on 2023/24 Milwaukee-Eight 117/121 engines for Grand American Touring and CVO™ models. These heads are designed to improve performance and fuel economy.
- NEW Engine Oil is routed from a frame-mounted oil cooler through cylinder head cooling passages. This cylinder head cooling system further optimizes thermal comfort for the rider, especially in low-speed riding situations and hot weather. This air/oil cooled version of the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine weighs less that the Grand American Touring/CVO™ versions of the engine and does not require coolant system maintenance.
- NEW Contoured Aluminum Intake Manifold offers a more-direct air path and creates a smooth transition from the round throttle body to the new oval intake ports to enhance intake air flow for improved power and reduced exhaust emissions.
- NEW Improved Sound Quality as muffler and intake have been designed to enhance sound quality and match the character of each engine variant. Mufflers feature advanced lightweight material that works to trim high frequencies and emphasize low frequencies for a powerful sound.
- Dual Counter-Balancers are tuned to eliminate primary vibration at idle while permitting some engine character to shine through at speed.
- V-Twin Design with 45-degree cylinder angle maintains classic Harley-Davidson look-sound-feel.
- Compression Ratio of 10.3:1 enhances torque at lower RPM and improves fuel economy.
Details of Three Engines
- Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic (powers Street Bob® and Heritage Classic models) is tuned with a flat torque curve to deliver satisfying street performance and emphasize ease in rideability. The single muffler and classic round air cleaner produce the distinctive Harley-Davidson sound quality. This engine delivers 120 lb. ft. (163 Nm) peak torque and 98 horsepower (73 kW), 4 percent more power and 1 foot pound more torque (U.S. spec) than the 2024 Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine it replaces for a performance boost. A 2-into-1 exhaust enhances engine tuning by promoting efficient scavenging of exhaust from the engine cylinders.
- Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom (powers Fat Boy® and Breakout® models) is tuned to deliver 104 horsepower (78 kW) and 126 lb. ft. (171 Nm) peak torque, 6 percent more power and 5 percent more torque (U.S. spec) than the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic engine for a performance boost. This engine will provide a significant power increase – 11 percent more horsepower and 6 percent more torque – over the 2024 Fat Boy® 114 model. This engine is equipped with a 2-into-2 exhaust with individual catalysts. The Touring-style intake airbox volume is 4.0 liters, approximately 50 percent greater than 2024 Ventilator (Fat Boy® model) and Heavy Breather (Breakout® model) intakes, which improves power by providing more room for the in-molded velocity stack radius and greater volume of clean air. Intake noise is significantly reduced, which allows a more desirable, rumbling exhaust tone to predominate.
- Milwaukee-Eight® 117 H.O. (powers Low Rider® S and Low Rider® ST models) is tuned for riders that consistently seek performance in the upper RPM range and desire an aggressive sound profile. This engine delivers 114 horsepower (85 kW) and 128 lb. ft. peak torque (174 Nm) for an exciting boost in performance – 11 percent more peak horsepower (114 vs 103 horsepower) – compared to the 2024 Milwaukee-Eight® 117 in the Low Rider® S and Low Rider® ST models. The high-performance SE8-511 camshaft developed for the Milwaukee-Eight® 121 High Output engine in the CVO™ Road Glide® ST model delivers a top-end performance boost for strong acceleration in the mid and upper RPM range. Engine “redline” intervention is elevated from 5600 rpm (Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic and Custom engines) to 5900 rpm to give additional throttle headroom under strong acceleration. The Heavy Breather intake features an exposed forward-facing air filter element to maximize flow and adds intake tuning length that improves charging efficiency and peak torque. This intake also gives this engine high-performance style and spirited intake sound on acceleration. A 2-into-1 exhaust enhances engine performance by promoting efficient scavenging of exhaust from the engine cylinders while it delivers a satisfying low rumble at idle and powerful exhaust note under acceleration.
- More Power Potential – Each of the new Milwaukee-Eight® 117 powertrain variants for Cruiser models offer significantly more performance potential with the installation of Screamin’ Eagle® Stage Kits and Screamin’ Eagle intake and exhaust components, compared to 2024 Milwaukee-Eight® 114/117 engines.
Shared Harley-Davidson® Cruiser Model Features
The following new features apply to each of the six 2025 Harley-Davidson Cruiser models:
- NEW Selectable Ride Modes electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle and the level of technology intervention.

- Hydraulic pre-load adjustment can be made to rear suspension preload, without tools and without removing a saddlebag, to accommodate up to an additional 150 lbs. of cargo loading or short-term passenger adjustments beyond the primary suspension loading condition. Pre-load adjustment for the primary loading condition (the condition that the vehicle will most often be used in, for example rider only or rider plus passenger) is accomplished by removing the right saddlebag and adjusting the threaded preload adjuster with the provided spanner tool.
Aero Comfort
The Street Glide® Ultra model fairing and fairing lowers are elements of a new aerodynamic system designed to deliver outstanding aero comfort for the rider and passenger, created using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) tools, wind tunnel analysis and real-world subjective testing with an emphasis on reducing helmet buffeting at highway speed. Most riders will find that the combination of aero design and adjustable elements results in an improvement in overall aero comfort. In wind tunnel testing, subjective helmet buffeting is reduced by an average of 60 percent compared to the 2024 Ultra Limited® model.
- NEW Fairing Lowers are designed to enhance aero comfort for the rider by adding wind and weather protection around the leg area.
- Fairing lowers are equipped with integrated venting designed to fine-tune airflow by using a small lever the rider can adjust.
- A storage compartment with capacity of 0.15 cubic feet (4.2 liters) is built into each fairing lower. The compartment door has a push-button latch and smooth, damped action. These compartments will be ideal for keeping gloves, keys, wallet and other small items handy.
- The fairing lowers are designed for installation of integrated LED fog lamps available from Harley-Davidson® Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories. This lighting will replace a removeable panel on the leading edge of each fairing lower.
- NEW Clear tall touring windshield is designed as part of the aero package – this windshield is approximately 4 inches taller than the Street Glide® model windscreen to offer enhanced wind/weather protection.
- NEW fork-mounted adjustable air deflectors are larger than those on the Street Glide® model and are designed to deflect turbulent air away from the rider and passenger. The deflectors may be adjusted for desired airflow, and when stowed permit more air to flow to the rider’s torso for optimized comfort in warm conditions.
- Mid-Frame Air Deflectors attach to the frame below the seat and direct heat away from the rider to further optimize comfort on hot summer rides.
- An adjustable control vane in the fairing center vent allows the rider to dial in airflow for comfort in most conditions and riding gear choices. The fairing vent balances air pressure behind the fairing to minimize helmet buffeting at speed for rider comfort.
Ergonomic Comfort
- NEW Redesigned one-piece comfort seat is exclusive to the Street Glide® Ultra model. A new shape and padding materials update the look and feel of the seat compared to the 2024 Ultra Limited® model while maintaining the long-range comfort touring riders demand.
- The seat is shaped to rotate the rider’s hips to a neutral position relative to the spine. This helps reduce the effort required to maintain a comfortable riding posture, which can help reduce fatigue on rider back and neck.
- Street Glide® Ultra laden seat height is 26.9 inches (683 mm).
- NEW Weight Reduction Dry weight (831 lbs. as shipped) has been reduced by 49 pounds compared to the 2024 Ultra Limited® model. This reduction was achieved by shaving ounces whenever possible, for example, forming the fuel tank from lighter-gauge steel and using a new process to create lightweight aluminum triple clamps. The result is an improvement in every aspect of performance – braking, low speed maneuvering and acceleration – and in rider comfort in regard to lift-off the side stand, balancing at a stop and even moving the bike around the garage.
- NEW Heated hand grips for all-weather rider comfort.
Cargo
The Street Glide Ultra model is equipped with hard shell locking saddlebags plus the King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier with wrap-around passenger backrest pad and luggage rack.
- Combined King Tour-Pak® carrier, saddlebag and fairing lower capacity is 4.9 cubic feet (138.8 liters), approximately 4 percent more capacity than the 2024 Ultra Limited model luggage capacity and more than twice the capacity of the Street Glide® model equipped only with saddlebags.
Technology
NEW Selectable Ride Modes electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle and the level of technology intervention. The rider may use the hand control MODE button to change the active ride mode while riding the motorcycle or when stopped. A unique icon for each mode appears on the display when that mode has been selected.
