Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1920 Street Glide Limited FLHXL 2026 Let the horizon come

The new Street Glide Limited takes over from an iconic family. It immediately replaces the Street Glide Ultra (which only lasted a year) and presto, the famous Electra Glide Ultra and Ultra Limited dynasty. The mission remains the same: ride in maximum comfort with a torque-filled engine and cruise the highways in style. With this unique machine, Harley introduces a new evolution.

Unique... if you like. It incorporates almost all of the features of the previous Ultra. The main differences are the new lightweight wheels, redesigned heated seats, the addition of secondary footrests on the front crash bars, two LED strips in the fairings and, finally, the arrival of a new Tour-Pak.

Right to the end of the trunk

Harley doesn't often redesign its top case. You have to go back to the 2014 Rushmore project to find a redesign. So this is a bit of an event for MoCo. The Tour-Pak is slightly flatter, has a long rear light, a 12V socket, and provides more comfort for the passenger. Despite its larger size, its capacity remains unchanged at 68 liters.
With the two panniers and the small storage compartments in front of the knees, that gives you 144 liters of storage space.

Taking the improvements fromthe Ultra, the Limited benefits from more powerful Showa shock absorbers, a drastic weight reduction (around 20 kg), the modernized design of the Street series, and the voracious power of the engine. This Tourer delivers an impressive 175 Nm of torque, drunk with rumblings and glazes to appreciate every beat, every restart, every excuse to collapse under the cruising. A clear increase in performance since the 114 ci of the previous generation Glide.

After recovering the 117 ci in 2025, it is difficult to boost the mechanics any further. And then, that would be encroaching too soon on the privilege of the CVOs. So Harley is playing it safe by installing VVT variable valve timing on the 1923 cc Milwaukee Eight. There is no increase in power or torque, but with this dynamic system, the power range is wider and fuel consumption is reported to be down by 2 to 3%.

Harley falls for chips

Now that Harley has tasted high-tech, infotainment is a must-have feature on all touring bikes. In front of the handlebars is a huge 12.3-inch color TFT screen with its Skyline on-board system. There's plenty of room for a GPS navigator, smartphone control, voice control, audio, and then 200 watts of sound from the four 165 mm speakers.

Entertainment is one thing, safety is another. Here too, Milwaukee has made plenty of room for technology by bringing back rider assistance features. Don't be surprised by this list, as Harley began this infusion several years ago. With four riding modes (Road/Sport/Rain/Custom), an inertial unit for traction control, cornering ABS, linked brakes and residual torque management, tire pressure monitoring and hill start assist, the electronics play a major role in controlling the bike's dynamics.

Always more to see

Harley is maintaining a steady, unhurried pace in renewing its Grand Touring range, modernizing its cruisers without upsetting the habits of its fan base too much. The Street Glide Limited is as much about travel as ever, now with a retro-futuristic style, lots of technology, and a power that a CVO would not have dared to imagine 10 years ago. Speaking of CVO, it also comes in this luxurious configuration, with more of everything.
