2026 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide: 55 YEARS JUST RIDES BY.

Introducing the 2026 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide…

The 2026 Super Glide picks up where a generation of custom riders left off. White Onyx Pearl paint and vintage tank graphics pull straight from the original 1971 FX playbook, while tons of chrome, tubeless laced wheels, mini-apes, mid-controls, and a five-gallon tank give this modern take on the classic California cruiser the same custom-minded spirit that changed the motorcycle industry 55 years ago. The 2026 Super Glide takes the spirit that started the factory custom movement and lets it loose for a whole new generation of riders. Only 2,500 made for this year, and each one comes serialized.

2026 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

White Onyx Pearl Paint + Vintage FX Graphics

White Onyx Pearl paint covers the larger five-gallon teardrop gas tank with stretched tank graphics and classic red-and-blue striping nodding directly to the 1971 FX’s iconic style, rooting the Super Glide in its heritage without living in the past.

Serialized Limited Edition
Each 2026 Super Glide motorcycle is individually serialized on the tank console as one of only 2,500 motorcycles produced worldwide to mark a rare return of one of the most influential names in Harley-Davidson history.

Chrome Details + Tubeless Laced Wheels
Brilliant chrome details and classic tubeless laced wheels come standard and bring timeless classic custom attitude into the modern era. Bright aluminum hubs and chrome wheels preserve the look riders love while supporting modern performance and tire pressure monitoring technology behind the scenes.

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic Motor
The Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic motor delivers smooth, satisfying street performance with a broad torque curve that feels strong everywhere you ride. It pulls clean through the powerband without chop or slop, whether you’re rolling through town or settling into a long stretch of highway.

 

Selectable Ride Modes + Rider Safety Enhancements

2026 Super Glide Ride Modes
Selectable ride modes and Rider Safety Enhancements give the Super Glide a more adaptable feel without changing what makes the bike enjoyable to ride in the first place. Road, Sport, and Rain modes adjust throttle response and traction intervention for changing roads and weather, while Cornering ABS, traction control, drag-torque slip control, and Tire Pressure Monitoring help keep the ride feeling smooth, steady, and predictable when conditions get less than ideal. It’s modern technology built to support the experience, not interrupt it.

Milwaukee-Eight™ 117 Classic Motor
The Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic motor delivers smooth, satisfying street performance with a broad torque curve that feels strong everywhere you ride. It pulls clean through the powerband without chop or slop, whether you’re rolling through town or settling into a long stretch of highway.

2-Into-1 Exhaust
Built around efficient exhaust flow and smooth power delivery, the 2-into-1 exhaust helps the Super Glide feel responsive and easy to ride without sacrificing the low, familiar bark of a Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin motor.

Rear Monoshock With Hydraulic Preload Adjustment
A hidden rear monoshock with hydraulic preload adjustment lets you fine-tune suspension feel for changing loads and riding conditions without disrupting the clean custom profile. Comfort, quality, and classic style all live in the same place.

49 mm Front Suspension
The original FX shook things up with a leaner, lighter front-end feel borrowed from the Ironhead Sportster™ world of the ‘60s. On the 2026 Super Glide, dual-bending valve 49 mm forks bring a more planted and confident ride while keeping the same stripped-down custom spirit intact.

Selectable Ride Modes + Rider Safety Enhancements
Selectable ride modes and Rider Safety Enhancements give the Super Glide a more adaptable feel without changing what makes the bike enjoyable to ride in the first place. Road, Sport, and Rain modes adjust throttle response and traction intervention for changing roads and weather, while Cornering ABS, traction control, drag-torque slip control, and Tire Pressure Monitoring help keep the ride feeling smooth, steady, and predictable when conditions get less than ideal. It’s modern technology built to support the experience, not interrupt it.

Console-Mounted Instrumentation
A classic tank-mounted analog speedo sits above a multifunction LCD display that keeps ride information simple, clear, and easy to read from the saddle. It delivers modern functionality without losing the stripped-down feel and timeless style that define the Super Glide.

Adjustable Brake Lever
The adjustable front brake lever lets riders fine-tune reach and feel to better match hand size and riding preference. Easy adjustability helps riders dial in a more natural feel from the saddle.

 

“It really reminds me of the old ‘71 FX. The paint and graphics are spot on, I love the chrome, and the five-gallon tank makes a huge difference. But then you roll on that Milwaukee-Eight and it’s a whole different animal. My only question is: where’s the boattail?!”

 

The One Original. The New Super Glide.
The 2026 Super Glide takes the stripped-down spirit of the original FX and rebuilds it for today’s roads. Classic paint, gobs of chrome, and a laid-back stance meet modern Softail™ performance and the power of the Milwaukee-Eight™ 117 Classic motor for a ride that feels familiar in all the right ways. It’s low, long, uncomplicated, and built for riders who still believe the best rides happen when there’s no real plan at all.

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.

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 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.
