The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra offers a distinct approach to touring motorcycles by combining three-wheel stability with features designed for long-distance riding. This model focuses on performance, design, technology, and safety to meet the demands of riders looking for a reliable and capable trike.
Powering the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-twin, delivering 93 horsepower and 120 foot-pounds of torque. This engine maintains steady performance, even under the demands of a fully loaded touring setup. Its broad torque curve supports smooth acceleration across a range of speeds, making it well-suited for long-distance travel with passengers and gear. Fuel economy is rated at approximately 42 miles per gallon, providing efficient operation without compromising capability.
Suspension components have been chosen to enhance rider comfort and control. The front suspension uses dual bending valve technology that offers precise damping control, contributing to better handling and shock absorption. The rear suspension features an emulsion design with a single knob for preload adjustment. This allows quick tuning of the rear suspension to accommodate changes in load, such as additional cargo or a passenger, which can be adjusted while on the road.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra presents two trim options: the classic Chrome trim and a Black trim that provides a darker appearance through blacked-out finishes on the wheels, engine, and badges. Both trims share the same structural framework, with a 19-inch front wheel paired with an 18-inch rear wheel.
Wind protection is provided by a full Batwing fairing with split-stream vents that reduce buffeting, alongside a tall windshield that shields both rider and passenger from the elements. Fairing lowers encompass a blacked-out engine guard to protect the powertrain and add to the bike’s overall durability. Luggage storage includes a weatherproof locking trunk and a King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier. Together, they offer 6.8 cubic feet of combined storage, supporting extended trips with room for personal gear and helmets. The King Tour-Pak® also features interior lighting and a soft liner to protect stored items.
The paint options include traditional solid colors as well as a Factory Custom Mystic Shift finish. This unique paint treatment changes hues depending on the lighting conditions, shifting from dark gunmetal to purple, blue, and even an orange hue under direct sunlight.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra incorporates a Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system is centered on a 6.5-inch touchscreen display. This screen offers clear visibility for controlling navigation, Bluetooth® audio, and safety system settings. Riders can connect smartphones via Bluetooth® for hands-free communication and media streaming. The audio setup features four 25-watt speakers positioned to provide balanced audio coverage, supporting multiple input methods including wired connections, Bluetooth®, and satellite radio.
An electric reverse system enhances low-speed maneuverability by allowing the rider to move the trike backward with minimal physical effort. The reverse function is activated through a simple button press, enabling controlled backing on inclines or in tight spaces without manual pushing.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is equipped with a suite of safety technologies aimed at maintaining control and stability during varied riding conditions. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheel lockup during sudden or firm braking, helping the rider maintain steering control. Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) distributes braking force electronically between front and rear wheels, improving stopping performance under different scenarios.
The Traction Control System (TCS) works to prevent rear-wheel slip during acceleration. This system adjusts engine power output to maintain traction, which is particularly useful on low-friction surfaces. The Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) reduces rear-wheel slip caused by rapid downshifting or quick throttle release. This feature enhances stability on wet or slippery roads by minimizing unexpected rear-wheel lock or spin.
The trike model benefits from cornering-specific adaptations to these systems. Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS) and Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB) modulate brake pressure according to lean angle and lateral acceleration, improving stability and rider confidence while turning. Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) extends traction control functions to cornering situations, helping prevent excessive rear wheel spin during acceleration in bends.
The combination of the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine, adjustable suspension, and advanced safety features ensures that the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra provides dependable performance in various riding scenarios. The available storage solutions accommodate long-distance travel needs, while the integrated infotainment system keeps riders connected and informed.
Riders can adjust rear suspension settings quickly to optimize comfort based on cargo or passenger load. The electric reverse drive simplifies parking maneuvers, especially in confined or sloped environments. Together, these features enhance the overall usability of the trike for touring and everyday riding.
