This machine is equipped with a frame-fixed, aerodynamically favorable fairing, which makes the straight-line stability particularly stable. Its high windshield also effectively relieves taller riders of wind pressure.
Two leg shields also offer perfect protection from wind and weather. In addition to two suitcases with a capacity of around 32 liters each, a Tour Pak with a capacity of around 69 liters is available for luggage.
The new twin-cooled Milwaukee-Eight 107 powers the machine. The 1745 cm3, 67 kW (91 hp) engine is suspended in the frame with vibration isolation and coupled to the six-speed transmission via a hydraulically actuated clutch.
New chassis components at the front and rear make the machine even more comfortable and stable to ride. Dual Daymaker headlights with LED technology illuminate the road.
With the handlebars cranked far back, the comfortable seat with passenger backrest and armrest, comfortable footboards and a 22.7 liter tank, the Road Glide Ultra cuts a first-class figure even on long journeys.
Entertainment is provided by the Boom! Box 6.5 GT infotainment system with navigation and 100-watt audio system. Also on board: cruise control and the security system with immobilizer and alarm system.
