A First Look at Harley-Davidson’s 2026 Motorcycles

Information about Harley-Davidson’s 2026 motorcycles has leaked online ahead of the official January 14 announcement. The leaks reveal new touring bikes, trikes, and high-end CVO models.

New Touring Motorcycles

Harley is introducing the Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited. These bikes are designed for long trips and come with a powerful "Milwaukee-Eight 117" engine.

• The Street Glide Limited replaces the older Ultra model. It looks similar but has a much larger storage trunk (Tour-Pak) and a thicker, more comfortable seat.

• The Road Glide Limited has a "shark-nose" front design and taller handlebars for a different look and feel.

Updates to Trikes (Three-Wheelers)

The Street Glide 3 Limited is replacing the Tri Glide Ultra. It features a modern design with built-in LED lighting and smaller fenders. It also appears to have a new transmission system, which might make shifting into reverse easier.

Adventure and Custom Bikes

• Pan America 1250 Limited: This is Harley’s "adventure" bike, made for both paved roads and dirt trails.

• CVO Models: Harley’s premium "Custom Vehicle Operation" (CVO) line will return with high-end versions of the Street Glide and Road Glide. These usually feature special paint and the best technology Harley offers.

Why This Matters Harley-Davidson usually keeps its new designs secret until their big winter event. These leaks give fans an early look at how the brand is updating its biggest, most expensive motorcycles for the coming year.
