Harley-Davidson enters 2025 with ambition, unveiling a bold and diverse range. From modernized cruisers to revisited adventure models and CVO limited series, the American brand proves its ability to innovate while remaining true to its legendary DNA. Let's take a look at the highlights of this collection.
Harley-Davidson reaffirms its pretensions with several announcements
At the beginning of the year, the American manufacturer unveiled its initial ambitions for the 2025 collection, and today several new models have been added to the range.
A Cruiser range equipped to impress
For 2025, Harley-Davidson is revamping its Cruiser family with six distinctive Softail models. Each of them is now powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, offered in three versions: Classic (for Street Bob and Heritage Classic models), Custom (Breakout and Fat Boy) and High Output (Low Rider S and Low Rider ST), adapted to different personalities and riding styles.
The big news is the on-board technology: ABS optimized for cornering, traction control and riding modes (Road, Sport and Rain) make their appearance. These advances, combined with a redesigned chassis, deliver enhanced comfort and handling. Modernized elements, such as exhaust systems and air filters, complete this major update, while preserving the brand's emblematic character.
CVO: the height of prestige
The Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) range remains a showcase of excellence for Harley-Davidson. For its 26th edition, it introduces four exclusive models that combine luxury and innovation.
Among them, the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide seduce enthusiasts of high-end baggers with their refined styling and technological equipment. Inspired by the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers competitions, the CVO Road Glide ST features a Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO engine and high-performance components. Finally, the CVO Pan America, a premium trail bike, symbolizes the alliance between adventure and elegance.
Street Glide Ultra: built to eat up the miles
The Street Glide Ultra embodies the essence of Grand American Touring. Designed for long distances, it combines exceptional comfort with advanced technologies, enhancing the duo's riding experience. See for yourself:
Pan America 1250 ST: the ideal compromise?
Four years after its launch and one year after an ultra-equipped CVO version, H-D's big trail bike returns in a new guise: the Pan America 1250 ST, a "motorcycle designed to appeal to riders ready to swap a sportbike or Streetfighter model for an agile bike offering more comfort and optimum handling over the longest distances". New features include 17-inch spoked wheels for improved handling on the road, adjustable Showa Balance Free suspensions, and a lowered one-piece seat with Adaptive Ride Height system, making it easier to get on and off.
However, this "more road-going" approach means a few concessions: the disappearance of crashbars, handguards and a high bubble. Priced at €19,990 (€760 more than the Special version), this ST is aimed at bikers looking for curves and comfortable travel.

Sportster S: a step up in comfort
On the sports side, the Sportster S sees its suspension upgraded, offering 60% more travel at the rear. The fully adjustable inverted fork and central strut further enhance comfort and versatility. This model remains a benchmark for fans of bold design and accessible performance.
In 2025, the Milwaukee-based manufacturer is revamping its line-up, focusing on model diversity and evolutions adapted to different biker profiles. This began with the association with Hero MotoCorp, from which Harley hopes to benefit in order to conquer new markets, notably in Asia. A collaboration that promises to strengthen the brand's presence in the small-displacement segment and reach a younger audience. It's all set to reinforce the myth... or preserve it!
