Five new Harley-Davidson CVO models 2026 in limited edition

The CVO portfolio combines spectacular paintwork, thrilling performance and pure luxury

MILWAUKEE  - The 2026 collection of five limited-edition models Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operation (CVO) motorcycles sets a clear signal for power and prestige with spectacular design, thrilling performance and exclusive components. The 2026 CVO portfolio includes the all-new CVO Street Glide ST, CVO Street Glide Limited and CVO Street Glide 3 Limited models as well as the revised CVO Road Glide ST and CVO Street Glide.

Unrivaled paintwork and design

For 27 years, Harley-Davidson design and styling teams have used the CVO program not only to create exclusive paint schemes for CVO motorcycles, but also to advance paint and finishing techniques in ways never before seen in motorcycling.

New colors and flake treatments, flames and gradients, ghost details, metal sanding and polishing, alternative coating and plating technologies, elaborate multi-color paintwork with hand-applied trim lines and new color-change paints are all part of the process. No other powersports or automotive manufacturer has ever dared to do anything comparable in series production.

A CVO motorcycle is delivered with a finish that rivals a one-off custom, yet meets Harley-Davidson standards for durability and quality and is backed by the full factory warranty. Each paint job is unique to its model year and is never duplicated or repeated, further emphasizing its exclusivity.

Exclusive High Performance

Every 2026 CVO motorcycle is powered by a high-performance Milwaukee Eight engine exclusive to the CVO program. The powertrain is developed and tested by Harley-Davidson engineers as a complete high-performance system, utilizing Screamin‘ Eagle performance components based on extensive testing by the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team in the Mission King of the Baggers race series.

The cylinder head cooling system improves engine cooling efficiency, especially when driving slowly and in hot weather. The cylinder heads have channels for the coolant flow around the exhaust valve areas. An electric pump circulates the coolant through the system to a heat exchanger with a thermostatically controlled fan mounted low on the front of the frame. The airflow from the fan is directed under the motorcycle, which increases comfort, especially at low speeds.

Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 drive

Exclusively for the CVO Street Glide, CVO Street Glide Limited and CVO Street Glide 3 Limited models. Features include optimized liquid-cooled cylinder heads, variable valve timing (VVT) with high-performance camshaft, an efficient intake tract with four-litre airbox, a powerful charging system and a high-flow exhaust system with 4.5-inch diameter silencers.

Technical data Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121

Variable valve timing (VVT) extends the entire power band and improves fuel efficiency by two to three percent compared to the same engine with fixed valve timing. Using computer control, the VVT adjusts the camshaft timing continuously over a possible range of 40 degrees of crankshaft rotation (20 degrees of camshaft rotation). The rider feels improved performance in the lower rev range, ideal for overtaking, accelerating in traffic and climbing long mountain passes with pillion and luggage.

Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO drive

Exclusively for the CVO Street Glide ST and CVO Road Glide ST models. The main features include a high-performance camshaft, a high-performance intake system and an increased rev limit of 5,900 rpm.

Technical data Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO

The High-performance camshaft has the same stroke and timing as the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 camshaft, but the timing has been adjusted to increase power at the top end of the rev range. This engine is designed for maximum power and is not equipped with variable valve timing (VVT).

The High-performance intake/heavy breather air filter is a racing-inspired intake system that has been specially developed for the Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO engine. This intake allows 26 percent more air to pass through than the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 airbox, contributing to increased performance. Its tuned length is designed to maximize torque and horsepower. It is shaped to minimize weight and maximize rider legroom while producing an aggressive sound quality.

The Increased speed limit to 5,900 rpm applies with a time limit of 25 seconds at this engine speed before the calibration intervenes. The peak speed without intervention has been raised from 4,600 (Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121) to 4,750 rpm. The higher speed limit allows the driver to be very aggressive with the throttle.

The Maximum speed is electronically limited to 193 km/h (CVO Road Glide ST) or 177 km/h (CVO Street Glide ST) for a maximum of 25 seconds. This makes them the fastest Grand American Touring motorcycles that Harley-Davidson has ever offered. This speed is intended for special situations, such as a track day on a closed racetrack.

CVO Technology

Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson

A collection of technologies designed to boost rider confidence in unexpected situations or difficult road conditions.

New color options

Inferno Gray initially appears as a dark, solid neutral color, but red effects begin to appear in the highlights as the light hits the painted surfaces. This color creates an interest that draws the viewer around the bike to see how it shifts in color, almost like fiery lava oozing from the ground. The red in the paintwork combines with the red accents on the drivetrain and elsewhere on the bike. An eagle graphic, inspired by the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team livery, flows from each fairing side to the tank.

Styling details

The Road Glide fairing offers the rider exceptional aero comfort and dynamic style. The fairing is mounted directly on the motorcycle frame and is therefore independent of the steering and front suspension. This significantly reduces steering effort during tight maneuvers at low speeds compared to a fork-mounted fairing, as the rider does not have to carry the weight of the fairing over the handlebars. The inner fairing integrates a 12.3-inch color touchscreen display, two speakers and left/right storage compartments, with the right-hand compartment featuring a USB-C port. New red-tinted windshield.

• Dark surfaces on the entire motorcycle
