2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST Brings Race-Bred Power to Sanford’s Touring Scene
There’s a certain pulse you can feel in Sanford, Florida. Maybe it’s the sound of tires rolling down Lake Mary Boulevard or the distant rumble of exhaust bouncing off the walls of downtown. This is a place where riding is part of the rhythm of daily life. So it makes perfect sense that something built with such serious performance in mind would find its way here. Enter the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST, a bagger born from the racetrack and sharpened for the streets.
This motorcycle does not ask for attention. It earns it the moment you twist the throttle.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST comes straight out of the race-focused playbook. It takes inspiration from the same machines that battle in the MotoAmerica® King of the Baggers™ competition. But this bike does not wear a track suit. It wears carbon fiber and Screamin’ Eagle® graphics, crafted with the same intensity you would find on the starting grid. It looks fast standing still, and that is no accident.
In Sanford, the contrast between open highway and tight turns through tree-lined roads makes the area a fitting stage for this performance-minded machine. Riders here are not just coasting. They are carving, leaning into every curve, and taking full advantage of everything this bike was designed to do.
Let’s talk about power, the kind that does not just hum along but grabs you by the shoulders and pulls. At the center of this ride is the Milwaukee-Eight® 121 High Output engine, the strongest ever put into a Harley-Davidson® production bike. With 127 horsepower and 145 foot-pounds of torque, it moves with purpose. That kind of muscle gives you quick overtakes on the highway, hard pulls off the line, and enough midrange to make your spine tingle.
But what really sets the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST apart is not only the raw power. It is the way it delivers that force with confidence and control. Lightweight titanium mufflers cut down mass and sharpen the exhaust rumble into something deep and assertive. Fully adjustable suspension, with SHOWA® forks up front and dual outboard shocks in the rear, lets you tune every ride to suit the road, your mood, or both.
That is what makes this bike click with Sanford riders. The road conditions around here can change quickly, from smooth four-lane stretches to backroads peppered with pine needles and the occasional pothole. Having a machine that adjusts and responds in real time is a game-changer.
This bike does not hide its intentions. From the carbon-fiber front fender to the race-inspired solo seat, the design cues make it clear that comfort and aggression can go hand in hand. The Screamin’ Eagle® graphic flows across the bodywork like it is moving before you even start the engine. Every detail is considered, from the bright hits of Performance Red on the powertrain to the sharp profile of the moto bars.
And the seat is more than a simple sculpted padding. It is a launchpad. Steep-backed and supportive, it is ready to hold you in place when you dig into the throttle or throw the bike into a long sweeping turn near Black Bear Wilderness Area. This bike rewards an active rider and invites the kind of riding that turns a quick errand into an excuse for a longer route.
The technology packed into this bike adds an extra layer of control without feeling invasive. The 12.3-inch TFT display is easy to read at a glance, and the Skyline™ OS keeps all your ride info, navigation, and audio within reach. Think of it as a command center for your ride.
You have eight ride modes to play with. Some are designed for street conditions. Others, like Track and Track Plus, are tuned for more aggressive use. Each one changes how the bike behaves under throttle, brake, and in corners. On Sanford’s city streets, where you might be easing around roundabouts one minute and opening up along SR-46 the next, being able to adjust the bike’s character on the fly is a serious asset.
And the Rockford Fosgate® Stage II sound system does not just play music. It fills the ride. Crisp, loud, and tuned to cut through wind noise, it is the kind of sound system that keeps the energy up, mile after mile.
You might not see Sanford as a place where you will need cutting-edge safety tech, but the truth is that the unexpected can happen on any ride. That is why Harley-Davidson® loaded this bike with a suite of rider-focused technology designed to keep you steady and in control.
Cornering ABS and Traction Control adjust in real time to the lean angle of the bike. That means if you are diving into a turn near Lake Jesup or rolling through a patch of unexpected gravel, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST is working quietly in the background to help you keep things under control. Drag-Torque Slip Control helps when you aggressively downshift, and Vehicle Hold Control keeps the bike still on hills until you are ready to move forward.
There is also a Tire Pressure Monitoring System built in, which saves you from the “is that a slow leak or my imagination” guessing game. It is a full package of rider support systems, designed to act when needed and stay invisible when not.
Sanford might seem laid-back, but there is a restless energy under the surface. One moment you are strolling through the historic district, the next you are rolling past open fields or making your way toward the coast. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST fits that dual nature. It is bold and refined. Relaxed and aggressive. Made to cruise or charge, depending on the day.
It gives you the speed and handling of a race bike with the range and comfort of a true long-distance machine. For Sanford-area riders who expect their bike to be ready for weekend trips and for weekday commutes, that kind of balance is not a luxury. It is a requirement.
With its lightweight components and finely tuned chassis, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST is not another touring bike. It is a machine built with a purpose, and that purpose is speed, control, and undeniable style.
Reading about a machine like this only takes you so far. You have to feel the engine rumble beneath you, test the suspension through a few turns, and play with the ride modes to see what suits your style. That is when the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST comes alive.
