Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Limited

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Limited’s exterior design is oozing with confidence and functionality. It has a lot going on but not in a bad or distracting way. Immediately, you and your pillion are greeted by a leather saddle that comes with two individual backrests, ensuring that both of you will enjoy maximum comfort and support wherever you go. For those who tend to bring multiple items when traveling, it comes with an abundance of storage, which includes a top box behind the pillion’s seat and two smaller side boxes. 

Walking around this bike, you’ll notice that it has a very premium-looking multi-toned silhouette, accentuated by its bright paint, gloss black finishes, and chrome features. Its sharknose facade has an ethereal glare courtesy of its dual full-LED headlamp setup. Meanwhile, it has a modern back end that is illuminated by a wide LED light strip integrated into its top box, as well as an LED tail lamp placed on its rear fender. 

Aside from these, the rider is given a Boom! Box GTS full-colour TFT infotainment system that is linked to a Harley-Davidson Audio by Rockford Fosgate Stage 1, which consists of 4 speakers for a very immersive experience while cruising. Its infotainment is equipped with a vehicle information screen, Bluetooth hands-free, USB-supported features, AM/FM radio, and a rider/passenger intercom among others.

In terms of dimensions, the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Limited measures 2,570 mm in length, 1,095 mm in width, and 1,435 mm in height. It also has a wheelbase of 1,625 mm and a ground clearance of 130 mm. It runs on a pair of gloss black and contrast chrome tomahawk wheels–19-inch at the front, while 18-inch at the rear.

In terms of suspension, the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Limited utilizes 49 mm Dual Bending Valve Forks at the front and a Premium hand-adjustable suspension (in standard height) at the rear. Thanks to this suspension setup, you’ll be able to achieve very stable and agile handling with this touring motorbike. It can also absorb light to moderate bumps and other road imperfections effectively. 

However, its suspension’s main flaw is that it is still unable to conceal its heavy weight when maneuvering at low speeds through traffic and narrow streets. Hence, when you really want to maximize this bike’s top-notch ride comfort, it is better to ride this on the highway or free-flowing, wide urban concrete pavements.

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Limited is powered by a 1,923-cc Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine that produces a maximum power output of 105 hp and a maximum torque of 169 Nm. It runs on Harley-Davidson’s 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission system. 

On the open road, its run feels like a tamed version of the CVO Road Glide ST. Yet, it still has a very smooth power delivery, allowing you to overtake slower vehicles and cruise at higher speeds with ease. Like its high-performance bagger cousins, it is designed more for highway cruising than daily city commuting because of its high fuel consumption. Ultimately, the CVO Road Glide Limited offers a refined yet exhilarating riding experience for both the rider and the pillion.

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Limited is equipped with leg guards, side reflectors, and an engine check warning. Its braking setup is supported by an anti-lock braking system. It utilizes dual floating rotors at the front and a fixed rotor at the rear. It also comes with front and rear 32 mm 4-piston fixed calipers.

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Limited offers a sweet spot for discerning buyers who are in the market to buy a luxury bike. For its price, it can deliver the best of both worlds: exceptional comfort and impressive handling.
