The new engine drives them Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117a V-twin from 1,923 cc which introduces variable phasing by declaring 107 HP of power and 175 Nm of couple. In addition to the engine and chassis, the two models also share electronics which include ABS and traction control corneringVehicle Hold Control and different driving modes. What distinguishes them is always the bodywork, with the Street Glide showing off the iconic one batwing fixed to the fork and the Road Glide with the equally famous shark nose integral with the chassis, but what they have in common is an audio system from Rockford Fosgate, a Tft touch 12.3″ high connectivity with infotainment Skyline and a Grand Tour-Pak redesigned to better accommodate the passenger. Both are offered in seven sophisticated colors with prices starting from 35,900 euros.

2 Pan America 1250 Limited

With the Pan America 1250 LimitedHarley-Davidson offers its appreciated adventure tourer in a more luxurious guise, with more refined paintwork and graphics, dedicated protections, spoked wheels tubelessadditional lights and an unprecedented trio of aluminum top cases with a combined capacity of 120 litres. As a result, the weight with a full tank of 21.2 liters rises to 299kg. The engine remains the well-known liquid-cooled Revolution Max 1250 twin-cylinder, a unit for which HD always claims 150 HP And 129 Nm of torque, but is embellished with an unprecedented black finish. The equipment also includes the quickshifter, the semi-active suspension, the engine brake adjustment, the Adaptive Ride Height which automatically lowers the bike at low speeds and the adaptive front light. The 2026 Pan America 1250 Limited enters the market with a base price of 27,500 euros and three color options.

There are five new features that have been given the treatment Cvo for 2026: Street Glide ST, Road Glide ST, Street Glide, Street Glide Limited and Street Glide 3 Limited. The two STs, inspired by the competition baggers of the King of the Baggers championship (coming soon to us too), are equipped with the angry engine Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO from 127 HP And 197 Nmwhich combines fully adjustable settings, high-quality Brembo brakes and targeted weight reductions, as well as the Track driving mode designed for use on the track. The other CVOs focus more on luxury and generous torque Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 from 115 HP And 183 Nm.
