Riding through Durham, North Carolina offers a unique experience. The city’s combination of historic charm, rolling hills, and vibrant streets invites riders to enjoy every moment on the road. For those who want comfort, confidence, and control throughout their journeys, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is designed to meet the demands of Durham’s diverse roadways.
This three-wheeled motorcycle catches the eye not only for its classic Harley-Davidson® spirit but also for its modern engineering. It is built for riders who appreciate long-distance comfort and a steady, secure ride.
Exploring Durham’s streets, with their blend of smooth pavement and occasional rough patches, requires a bike that keeps you comfortable and organized. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra offers nearly seven cubic feet of storage space through its weatherproof trunk and King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier. This allows riders to pack everything needed for weekend getaways or longer trips without worrying about limited room.
The full-dresser design means the bike provides protection from wind and weather thanks to its Batwing fairing and tall windshield. These features create a cozy riding environment for both the rider and passenger, making extended trips feel more like an invitation to enjoy the journey rather than a test of endurance.
The true strength of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra lies in its stability. Its three-wheel design offers a solid feel on the road that takes the stress out of balancing a traditional two-wheeled motorcycle. The combination of a 19-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheels gives the bike a strong and confident stance. This translates into smooth handling on Durham’s variety of road surfaces, from the well-maintained downtown streets to rural backroads.
Handling curves with ease is one of the motorcycle’s standout features. Rider Safety Enhancements make it possible to take corners with surprising confidence. Systems such as Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking, Electronic Linked Braking, and Traction Control work in unison to maintain control, even in difficult conditions. These smart technologies adjust the brake pressure and traction based on the bike’s lean and road surface, letting the rider focus on the ride without hesitation.
When the roads get wet or slick, this peace of mind is especially welcome. Durham’s occasional showers no longer have to force cautious rides. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra steps in to control wheel slip and brake force, allowing you to enjoy your ride without constantly worrying about grip.
Powering the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine, a V-twin powerhouse that generates 120 foot-pounds of torque. This engine provides the strength to accelerate smoothly, carry passengers and gear with ease, and tackle any passing maneuver confidently.
Despite its power, the bike manages fuel efficiency that is impressive for its class, offering around 42 miles per gallon. This means fewer stops at the pump and more time on the road. The rear suspension includes a simple single-knob preload adjustment that lets riders quickly tailor the setup for passenger weight and cargo. This feature guarantees comfort no matter what or who is on board.
Touring today means staying connected and entertained on the go, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra answers that call. It comes equipped with the Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system, featuring a clear 6.5-inch touchscreen. Riders can access GPS navigation, Bluetooth® audio, and satellite radio with ease.
An electric reverse system makes maneuvering this three-wheeled bike much simpler. Parking in tight spaces or backing up on inclines is no longer a struggle. This feature is especially helpful for riders navigating Durham’s busy streets or parking lots without stress.
The bike’s appearance is both bold and modern. Offered in two trims, Chrome and Black, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra caters to different tastes. The Chrome trim features traditional Harley-Davidson® highlights and classic colors such as Billiard Gray and Vivid Black. The Black trim delivers a more aggressive look with blacked-out wheels and engine parts, creating a stealthy and muscular impression.
One of the more eye-catching options is the Mystic Shift paint. This custom finish changes color depending on the light, shifting from deep gunmetal to purple and even hints of blue and orange. This subtle visual effect gives the bike a unique character that will turn heads on any road.
In comparison to other touring motorcycles in Durham, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra offers a unique balance of freedom and stability. While large two-wheel cruisers require skill and experience to handle well, this trike removes much of the worry about balance and rider fatigue during long rides. It allows riders to focus on the joy of the journey without constant reminders of the physical demands that come with two wheels.
Among other trikes on the market, the combination of safety technology and engine power stands out. Many three-wheelers feel heavy or sluggish, but the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra maintains a surprisingly agile feel while providing the stability riders want. The intelligent braking system reacts to speed and lean angle, improving control and confidence on all types of roads.
