2026 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3 Chrome / Dark Billiard Gray

Every inch of the 2026 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3 has been re-engineered for more muscle, more performance and more connection to the road than you ever thought possible — even with an extra wheel.

At a Glance

A Brand New Trike With Hot Rod Soul.

The new 2026 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3 rewrites what a trike can be. It's leaner, it's meaner, and it's built for all get out. A redesigned Sharknose fairing cuts a sharper profile over a planted, aggressive stance. A Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117 motor is at the center of its hot-rod heart, and its brand new, completely redesigned rear suspension does two things: grip and go. The 12.3" TFT with Skyline™ OS, along with LED lighting, Rider Safety Enhancements, and four selectable ride modes keep this one ready for street and strip.

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 to 5 inches while cutting 68 pounds of unsprung weight. The wider rear track adds grip and stability through corners and confidence across rough pavement.

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.

Skyline OS 12.3” Display with Optional Embedded Navigation

A 12.3-inch TFT display powered by Skyline OS brings media, bike settings, and available maps with optional embedded navigation 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.

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

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.

A 12.3-inch TFT display powered by Skyline OS brings media, bike settings, and available maps with optional embedded navigation 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.

2026 Road Glide 3 | Walkaround

In this video, Justin Nunley shows how the 2026 Road Glide 3 channels hot rod DNA into a wider, meaner stance with a new rear suspension that drops 68 pounds of unsprung weight and doubles wheel travel for next-level performance. On top of that comes a new tank, fairing, and sculpted rear fenders that really set this motorcycle apart from everything else in the lineup. Its re-engineered reverse drive is lighter and built into the chassis for easier backing out, while Skyline® OS keeps music, maps, and control right where you want them: at your fingertips.

RIDER SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS

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.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
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.

Electronic Linked Braking (ELB)
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.

Traction Control System (TCS)
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.

Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS)
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.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
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.

Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS)
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.

Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB)
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.

Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS)
C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.

Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS)
On motorcycles 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 Motorcycle is leaning or the side-to-side motion on a Trike.
