Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST features a very bold design that emphasizes its appetite for motorsport wherever it goes. The Rally Red and Mercury Silver colorways flaunt a sporty two-toned look, which is enhanced by gloss black finishes. On the other hand, the Hot Lap colorway gets a more premium multi-toned style, enabling you to stand out from the crowd. It comes with a sleek LED lighting system both at the front and rear, providing top-notch visibility especially at night. 

Aside from these, this high-performance bagger also comes with lightweight carbon-fiber finishes from its front fender to the end caps of its titanium mufflers. Trailing behind this bike, its very sporty 2-1-2 dual exhaust setup will definitely catch your attention. 

Meanwhile, drivers can enjoy a very immersive riding experience with this bagger thanks to its well-padded solo seat, which provides top-notch comfort and lower-back support even on long-distance trips out of town, as well as a 12.3-inch TFT instrument display with a Skyline OS that helps the rider accurately monitor one’s current riding conditions. Additionally, this instrument panel is linked to a Rockford Fosgate Stage 2 audio system and gives the rider access to the bike’s ride modes and safety enhancements. It is also equipped with AM/FM radio, Bluetooth hands-free, USB-supported features, and a vehicle information screen as standards.

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST measures 2,410 mm in length, 720 mm in unladen seat height, and 1,625 mm in wheelbase. It has a 130 mm ground clearance and runs on a pair of 7-spoke cast aluminum wheels in black (19-inch at the front, while 18-inch at the rear).

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST utilizes SHOWA 47 mm Inverted 1x1 Front Forks with an adjustable preload, compression damping, and rebound damping at the front, while an Emulsion suspension with the same features at the rear. This innovative suspension setup allows this high-performance bagger to deliver exceptional handling even when the rider is hitting turns or corners at high speeds. This bike also has impressive grip and a good absorption of light to moderate bumps and other road imperfections. 

However, given its hefty weight, it would be a struggle to maneuver this through traffic and narrow streets, especially if you’re a novice rider. But, overall, the CVO Road Glide ST can deliver a very smooth, stable, and comfortable riding experience on the highway and free-flowing city roads.

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST is powered by a 1,977 cc Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output engine that produces a maximum power output of 127 hp and a maximum torque output of 197 Nm. It runs on the brand’s 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission system.

Equipped with the “strongest factory-installed engine used in a production Harley-Davidson”, the CVO Road Glide ST delivers exceptional performance on the road. It is arguably one of the fastest and most powerful of its kind, with its rev limit increased to 5,900 rpm. To say that this bagger is a beast on the highway is an understatement. It is masterfully-engineered to become a very exhilarating and responsive highway cruiser. 

In the city, however, it also consumes fuel like a beast especially when passing through heavy traffic. That said, if money is never an issue for you, then you’d also enjoy this as your daily ride within the Metro. But, if you want to experience this bike’s full potential, then you should definitely ride it out on the open road.

Safety is also not an issue for the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST as it is equipped with several rider safety enhancements such as a traction control system, electronic linked braking, drag-torque slip control system, vehicle hold control, a tire pressure monitoring system, as well as cornering enhanced features. In terms of braking, it utilizes wave style dual floating rotors at the front and a fixed rotor at the rear. Its braking setup is supported by an anti-lock braking system.

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST stands out as one of the most capable and feature-packed of its kind. It offers a whole different Harley-Davidson experience that you wouldn’t get anywhere else. Hence, it makes a compelling choice for performance-minded enthusiasts, experienced riders, and dedicated fans of the American brand.
