After a first wave of discreet announcements, Harley-Davidson unveiled the second part of its 2026 range in mid-January. It highlights the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States and announces the launch of 13 new models.The target customer base is the traditional core of the Milwaukee brand, with high-end models reserved for affluent enthusiasts. There has been a complete overhaul of the Trikes, the arrival of ultra-equipped “Limited” models with a new engine, and CVOs with elaborate paint jobs. The brand and its new CEO, Artie Starrs, are promoting the myth and continuing to escalate performance and luxury, which still appeals to a fringe of Harley-Davidson fanatics.
Grand Touring
The segment takes center stage with the new Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited. These machines are equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 engine, which has a displacement of 117 cubic inches (equivalent to 1,923 cm³). This impressive size delivers massive torque at low revs and vigorous acceleration, even when the bike is fully loaded. In terms of electronics, they feature a high-end Rockford Fosgate audio system with 200 watts of power and the Skyline OS touchscreen interface.
Both bikes are equipped with the all-new redesigned Grand Tour-Pak rear luggage system, which offers more cargo capacity without weighing down the line. For comfort, Harley has included heated seats as standard.
Aesthetically, the fairing distinguishes the two beautiful Glides. The Road Glide features the Shark Nose, renowned for its stability, while the Street Glide is adorned with the Batwing, which is attached to the fork!
Pan America 1250 Limited
After introducing a more touring-oriented model in 2025, the 2026 Pan America 1250 Limited returns to adventure with a ton of options. It raids the accessories catalog. The most interesting feature for medium-sized riders is the Adaptive Ride Height system.
It includes aluminum panniers, new factory guards, and auxiliary lighting. It features the Screamin’ Eagle Quickshifter, a clutchless gear shift, and tubeless spoked wheels that are well suited for off-road riding because they absorb shocks better than aluminum wheels.
The Trike Reinvented
Harley-Davidson has redesigned its three-wheelers. The chassis has been revamped to incorporate a brand new rear suspension and a more intuitive and efficient reverse system. The engine is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117. Two models are available. The Street Glide 3 Limited focuses on the stability of the three-wheeler and the comfort of grand touring with a heated seat, Grand Tour Pak luggage, and Skyline operating system.
For its part, the Road Glide 3 asserts its “Hot Rod” character with a more aggressive style thanks to its Sharknose fairing and four selectable riding modes.
The exclusive CVO models
The Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) department continues to offer premium finishes. For 2026, the range is expanding. Noteworthy additions include the CVO Street Glide ST, a version geared toward pure performance, and the CVO Street Glide Limited, which combines luxury and grand touring. Thanks to recent modifications, the three-wheeler has achieved exclusive status with the CVO Street Glide 3 Limited. Also featured are the revised CVO Road Glide ST, Harley-Davidson’s race-inspired bagger model, and the CVO Street Glide, the pinnacle of refinement and power.
Each CVO model features unique hand-crafted paintwork, special rims, and the most powerful engine in the range, the Milwaukee-Eight 121, making each unit a rolling collector’s item.
A Historic Tribute
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States (the Sestercentennial), Harley-Davidson is launching the Liberty Edition Enthusiast Collection. These limited-edition motorcycles feature an exclusive Midnight Ember paint scheme with eagle graphics, which is the emblem of the brand and the USA. The Street Glide, Street Glide 3 Limited, and Heritage Classic are part of this collection.
A high-end, patriotic vision
After an initial presentation of its sports models in November 2025, Harley-Davidson is focusing this year on luxury, power, and patriotic values. The new president has just arrived and will certainly use this year to appeal to the younger part of his audience, with more affordable vehicles while retaining the visual codes of America’s leading motorcycle brand. Full details and configuration options are available on the official Harley-Davidson website and at authorized dealers.
