The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 expands the manufacturer’s three-wheeled touring lineup with a trike engineered for consistent performance, improved stability, and long-distance functionality. It integrates the frame-mounted fairing design of the Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® with a trike-specific chassis, combining balanced ergonomics, rider-assist technologies, and integrated storage. For riders who prefer a fixed front fairing and a wide rear stance, this model delivers a structured platform with well-defined mechanical advantages.
The design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 is centered on the fixed Sharknose fairing. This structure remains stationary during handlebar movement, which minimizes steering input resistance at highway speeds and contributes to straight-line stability. Triple splitstream vents are embedded into the fairing to redirect airflow and limit head buffeting during sustained rides. The fairing also houses dual Daymaker® LED headlamps, which improve visibility in both day and night conditions and increase the distance of forward illumination.
The windshield is mounted low for minimal visual obstruction but offers measurable wind deflection. Control interfaces are placed within ergonomic reach and are supported by an infotainment system that integrates communication and navigation functions.
The front of the trike uses a 19-inch wheel, while the rear features a pair of 18-inch wheels. This layout offers a larger contact patch across the rear, distributing weight and torque evenly to reduce unwanted wheel slip. With a seat height of 26.5 inches, the trike keeps the rider close to the ground.
Chassis dimensions are engineered for three-wheel touring. The wider rear track and fixed axle structure reduce lean but improve predictability. The result is a stable ride platform with minimal correction required during highway travel.
The seat is designed for prolonged use, with contouring that maintains even rider weight distribution across longer distances. Passenger accommodations include soft-touch grab handles for added security. The combination of seat height, handlebar reach, and floorboard placement contributes to a neutral riding posture.
Fenders at the rear are shaped in a flared bobtail design. This finish matches the visual profile of the front fairing and creates a continuous design line from front to back. The styling also integrates with the rear trunk, forming a unified structure that supports both form and function.
The Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine powers the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3, generating 119 lb-ft of torque routed through a six-speed transmission. This V-Twin is equipped with an oil-cooling system that manages engine temperature efficiently. Thermal stability is maintained during long rides or under heavy load, helping preserve consistent power delivery.
The throttle response is immediate, with minimal delay between input and acceleration. Torque is accessible across low and mid-range RPMs, reducing the need for frequent gear changes in traffic or uphill conditions. The slash-down dual mufflers mounted between the rear wheels expel exhaust with minimal vibration and are positioned to avoid interference with passenger leg space.
The rear suspension includes a single-knob preload adjustment system. This component allows riders to quickly adapt the suspension response based on load weight or road condition. This feature ensures the suspension remains within the optimal travel range, preserving both comfort and control.
The suspension structure is tuned for trike-specific geometry. It absorbs surface irregularities without transferring excessive movement to the frame. The stiffness can be increased for solo rides or decreased to accommodate a passenger or cargo in the rear trunk.
The integrated rear trunk offers two cubic feet of sealed storage. The top-mounted door is designed to open upward, giving riders direct access to the full trunk volume without requiring repositioning of gear. This configuration protects contents from road debris and weather exposure.
The structure of the trunk is aligned with the rear fenders, keeping the trike’s rear symmetrical and balanced. Its locking system is integrated into the core chassis security structure.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 includes a 6.5-inch color touchscreen paired with the Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system. This platform provides integrated controls for audio playback, GPS navigation, and wireless communication. It supports both touchscreen input and handlebar control.
Speakers are embedded within the fairing and project audio at highway volume levels without distortion. The touchscreen remains visible in direct sunlight and can be adjusted for contrast as needed.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 is equipped with Rider Safety Enhancements developed by Harley-Davidson®. These systems respond to dynamic traction conditions and assist the rider during braking, acceleration, and cornering.
Standard ABS prevents the wheels from locking during sudden braking. Electronic Linked Braking adjusts braking distribution between the front and rear wheels, reducing stopping distances and enhancing stability.
Traction Control monitors rear wheel spin during acceleration and adjusts torque delivery to maintain grip. The system accounts for changes in road surface and throttle input.
Drag-Torque Slip Control manages engine deceleration during abrupt downshifts. It mitigates rear-wheel lock and supports smoother transitions when reducing speed quickly or descending steep grades.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System sends alerts through the onboard display if tire pressure moves outside the recommended range. This feedback supports tire longevity and preserves handling precision.
Cornering-specific safety systems also come standard. These include enhancements to ABS, traction control, and electronic braking. Each of these systems uses trike-specific lateral acceleration inputs rather than lean angle, allowing for accurate adjustment of brake force and power output during curved travel.
Two trim levels are available. The Chrome trim features polished surfaces and metallic detailing, while the Black trim includes a factory-darkened finish with minimal reflective elements. Both configurations are produced with factory paint options designed to integrate with the model’s structure and finish. Paint formulations include solids, metallics, and denim surfaces, with new colors such as Whiskey Firestorm offering high-contrast graphics from tank to fender.
Color choices are assigned to trim packages. Riders selecting the Black trim have access to more varied finishes, while the Chrome trim maintains a traditional aesthetic.
