Harley-Davidson Road Glide Engine Specs & Powertrain
Miles melt away with the potent Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin 107 engine fitted to the 2023 Road Glide. Paired with a six-speed Cruise Drive® transmission, you get that characteristic rumble and road-taming power out of the Road Glide. The engine is fed by a six-gallon fuel tank that can take you out for long rides, courtesy of the 43 combined MPG rating this bike earns. You get great aerodynamics and limited head buffeting from the wind out on the highway because of the frame-mounted shark nose fairing on the Road Glide.
To stop the bike, you're equipped with dual-rotor disc brakes in the front and a single-rotor disc brake system in the back. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic linked braking system is available. To further upgrade your performance and handling confidence, consider the Reflex™ Defensive Rider System (RDRS), with features like hill hold control, cornering enhanced anti-lock brake and electronic linked braking systems, cornering enhanced traction control, and cornering drag-torque slip control.
