2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Safety & Technology

Embrace a fully connected ride with the modern technology built into the 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide. View your navigation, digital performance gauges, entertainment selections, and all your key menus and readouts on the 12.3-inch touchscreen display with the Skyline™ OS (operating system) housed in the center of the fairing. On either side of the touchscreen, two of the Rockford Fosgate® Stage II premium audio system’s speakers help make your presence known, along with the other two speakers located on the saddlebags.

Other included technology features include:

  • AM/FM radio
  • Bluetooth® phone connectivity
  • Wireless or wired Apple CarPlay®
  • Four-channel, 500W amplifier

The CVO Road Glide integrates advanced variable valve timing (VVT) technology with legendary H-D motorcraft to create something truly special in its Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine. First appearing in the Milwaukee-Eight 121 engines found in select 2023 CVO models, VVT is a proven BorgWarner technology that Harley collaborated to bring into its top-of-the-line engines. The key to this technology is a computer control system which adjusts camshaft timing, with a range of up to 20 degrees of camshaft rotation and 40 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The benefits? Advanced fuel economy, increased riding range, and a broadened powerband in this already stunningly powerful engine.

A safe ride involves visibility, capable stopping power, and confident handling. The 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide checks all three boxes with its robust collection of safety features. See and be seen with the full selection of LED lighting, including the massive headlamp that runs across the lower taper of the fairing, as well as the taillamp and signal lights. When you need to stop, dual front disc brakes with radially mounted four-piston Brembo® brake calipers, along with a single Brembo caliper on the rear wheel, provide the performance you need. And to complete the fully loaded bike’s offerings, you get a variety of standard enhanced rider safety features, including:

  • Anti-lock brake system
  • Electronic linked braking
  • Traction control system
  • Drag-torque slip control system
  • Vehicle hold control
  • Tire pressure monitoring system
  • Cornering enhanced anti-lock brake system
  • Cornering enhanced electronic linked braking
