The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 combines trike-specific engineering with familiar Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® design elements. It integrates a fixed Sharknose fairing, Milwaukee-Eight® 114 powertrain, and factory-installed rider safety enhancements. The model is available in two trims, Chrome and Black, each offering a distinct appearance with a broad selection of paint options. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 is structured for long-distance travel, supporting comfort and control for riders requiring three-wheel stability.
Powertrain Performance and Torque Management
The powertrain in the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 consists of the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-twin engine. This oil-cooled engine produces 119 ft-lb of torque and 90 horsepower, tuned specifically for trike use. Engine output is delivered through a six-speed transmission, designed to maintain optimal powerband engagement across various terrains. The dual rear wheels distribute torque to enhance acceleration without loss of traction.
Oil-cooling plays a role in maintaining consistent engine temperature across extended rides and high-load conditions.
Rear Suspension and Chassis Tuning
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 uses a preload-adjustable rear suspension system. The adjustment process is handled via a single knob, located for accessibility behind the side cover. This allows the rider to tailor suspension stiffness in response to cargo or passenger weight.
Wheel sizing consists of a 19-inch front wheel paired with dual 18-inch rear wheels. The front fork and rake geometry are engineered to align with trike dynamics, giving the model consistent behavior in straight-line travel and during low-speed maneuvers.
Integrated Fairing and Airflow Control
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 includes a Sharknose fairing, a fixed design mounted directly to the frame. This structure minimizes handlebar resistance caused by wind pressure and improves long-distance control. The fairing incorporates triple splitstream vents.
Dual Daymaker® LED headlamps are positioned within the fairing. These lighting elements are designed to provide full coverage ahead of the trike, improving visibility during nighttime or poor weather riding conditions. The LED configuration enhances both beam clarity and bulb longevity, supporting consistent lighting over time.
Rider Interface and Infotainment Features
The center-mounted 6.5-inch color touchscreen functions as the control point for the Boom!™ Box Box GTS infotainment system. The interface includes music streaming, navigation access, and Bluetooth® connectivity. Riders can operate the system using either the touchscreen or handlebar-mounted controls.
The infotainment layout is also optimized for gloved use. The screen responds to input under a range of environmental conditions. The audio system delivers high-clarity output, designed to remain audible during highway travel. Internal fairing speakers are placed to ensure sound direction remains consistent while seated.
Keyless ignition with a proximity fob is integrated into the model. This eliminates the need for a traditional key and allows ignition control without physical contact.
Storage and Equipment Configuration
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 includes a weather-sealed, rear-mounted trunk. The trunk provides two cubic feet of internal volume. It features a top-mounted door, designed for vertical loading and unloading.
Storage design supports long-distance utility by allowing for secure transport of equipment, gear, or passenger items. The trunk is lockable and integrated directly into the trike’s rear structure, which preserves the center of mass and does not interfere with the passenger seat.
Ergonomics and Seat Configuration
The rider seat height is 26.5 inches. This positioning supports a neutral leg angle for most riders and provides reach to the ground for additional control. The passenger seat includes integrated grab handles with a soft-touch surface.
Seat foam density and contouring are designed to manage weight distribution during extended time in the saddle. Rear foot position and legroom are set to align with the trike’s wider chassis footprint.
Exhaust and Aesthetic Design Features
Dual slash-down mufflers are positioned between the two rear wheels. The exhaust design enhances the low-frequency rumble typical of the Milwaukee-Eight® engine without adding unnecessary volume.
Rear flared bobtail fenders extend over the rear wheels. The shape of the fenders maintains visual continuity with traditional Harley-Davidson® styling and protects against road spray or debris. The trike’s proportions are balanced by the low seat, wide rear stance, and Sharknose fairing, forming a cohesive silhouette.
Premium paint choices vary between trims. Chrome trim offers options including Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Whiskey Fire, and Blue Burst. The Black trim expands the palette with White Onyx Pearl, Purple Abyss Denim, and a new Whiskey Firestorm scheme.
Cornering and Safety Enhancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® 3 includes multiple rider safety technologies that work in both straight-line and cornering situations. These systems are designed to intervene during unstable road conditions, wet surfaces, or rapid throttle and brake transitions.
The base anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents wheel lock under emergency braking. Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) automatically distributes braking pressure across the front and rear, improving stop stability.
Traction Control System (TCS) limits rear wheel spin during acceleration. This feature is calibrated specifically for trike dynamics, taking into account the dual rear wheel configuration.
The Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) reduces rear-wheel slip during abrupt deceleration or downshifting. This helps prevent lockup or fishtailing during low-friction conditions.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) provides real-time alerts for over- or under-inflated tires. Proper pressure is essential for predictable handling and tire longevity.
Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS) modifies braking pressure depending on lean angle or lateral acceleration. The trike interprets these forces to adjust braking for added control through turns. Cornering Enhanced ELB (C-ELB) alters brake force distribution in similar conditions. Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) manages throttle input and rear wheel spin when entering or exiting curves.
