Everything Central Florida Riders Are Curious About on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra
When it comes to owning the road with three wheels instead of two, Central Florida riders are putting the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra at the top of their must-ride list. And honestly? It makes perfect sense. Between the wide-open stretches of Route 50 and the unexpected backroads near Lake Apopka, there’s no shortage of scenery that deserves to be experienced on a bike built for long-haul comfort, stability, and a whole lot of presence.
To help you get a feel for what this three-wheeled touring machine is all about, we’ve rounded up the ten most common questions riders around Orlando are asking—and answered them in a way that feels more like swapping stories at a bike night than digging through a spec sheet.
1. What makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra different from a two-wheeled touring Harley-Davidson®?
Imagine all the confidence of a full-dresser touring bike, but with the added comfort and balance of a third wheel holding you steady. That’s what the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra delivers. It’s got the same go-the-distance DNA of a two-wheeled Ultra, but thanks to the dual rear wheels and wide stance, there’s no need to put your feet down at every stoplight or worry about tipping over when you’re inching through downtown traffic or gravelly parking lots.
2. How does it handle in Orlando traffic or on the open road toward the Space Coast?
Despite its size, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra glides through Florida roads with surprising ease. The Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine puts down 120 ft-lb of torque, which means you’ve got plenty of low-end power to move through I-4 congestion or pull ahead when merging onto 528. Out on the long stretches toward Cocoa Beach or further up to Daytona, the ride stays smooth and grounded. Rear suspension with easy single-knob preload adjustment lets you dial in your comfort depending on your load—passenger, gear, or both. And yes, the electric reverse makes maneuvering in tight spots way less stressful, especially when you're backing out of a busy parking lot on a hot Florida afternoon.
3. What are the key comfort features for longer rides?
This is where the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra really shines. The seat cradles you with touring-level support that you’ll appreciate around mile 50—and even more at mile 250. The full batwing fairing, complete with split-stream vents and a tall windshield, keeps the wind buffeting to a minimum, which is especially nice when that summer storm rolls in out of nowhere. Fairing lowers and the blacked-out engine guard help block road spray and wind off your legs, and the passenger gets their own backrest and armrests to lean into for the long haul. It's like a rolling lounge chair—with a V-twin rumble under the hood.
4. Does the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra have enough storage for real touring?
Absolutely. With a weatherproof trunk in the rear and a King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier up top, you’re looking at 6.8 cubic feet of total cargo space. That’s enough for a full weekend getaway, a week-long road trip, or even a midweek run to Tampa that turns into an overnight adventure. Toss your helmet in the Tour-Pak® when you park, stow your rain gear in the trunk just in case, and still have room left over for souvenirs and snacks.
5. What kind of tech does this trike bring to the table?
It’s got everything you’d expect from a modern Harley-Davidson® touring bike—and then some. The Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system runs through a sharp, 6.5-inch touchscreen that feels intuitive even with gloves on. Bluetooth® connectivity lets you cue up your playlist or answer a call if you really need to, and the onboard navigation is a lifesaver when cell service drops out in the middle of Central Florida farmland. The four-speaker sound system pumps out clear audio even at highway speeds.
6. How does the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra support rider safety and control?
Florida roads can be unpredictable—slick pavement, sudden rain, and sandy shoulders are part of the ride. That’s where the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra’s suite of Rider Safety Enhancements earns its keep. You’ve got features like traction control, electronic linked braking, and cornering-aware systems that adjust as the trike leans through turns. It’s not about taking control away from the rider—it’s about giving you more stability when things get sketchy. Think of it as an invisible co-pilot that steps in only when you need it.
7. Can I actually feel the difference with the new Black Trim option?
You bet. Visually, the blacked-out trim gives the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra an aggressive, modern vibe that stands apart from the traditional chrome look. The gloss black 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels give it a grounded, muscular stance without adding seat height. It’s the kind of styling that turns heads at a stoplight and lets you make a statement without saying a word. Plus, the new Factory Custom Mystic Shift paint option is something you’ve got to see in person—it shifts color in sunlight, going from dark gunmetal to deep purple to a hint of coppery orange. It’s rolling art, and it looks even better in motion.
8. How does the ride feel for passengers?
Let’s put it this way—your passenger might start requesting longer trips. The back seat is built with touring in mind: supportive cushioning, integrated armrests, and a view that’s hard to beat. Plus, that stable rear-wheel setup means no wobble or lean when you’re riding two-up. Add in smooth suspension and minimal wind fatigue, and it’s easy to understand why passengers become true believers after just one ride around Lake Monroe or through the twisting bends near Ocala.
9. Is this a good choice for older riders or those with limited mobility?
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra has been a favorite among riders who want to keep logging miles without sacrificing comfort or control. If putting your feet down at every stop is getting tiresome—or if you’ve had past injuries that make balancing a heavy touring bike more of a chore than a joy—this trike brings the freedom of motorcycling back within easy reach. The seating position is upright and natural, and that electric reverse? It’s the kind of feature you didn’t know you needed until you’re easing out of a slanted parking space at a bike rally.
10. Where can I test ride the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra near Orlando?
Easy answer—head over to Space Coast Harley-Davidson®. They’re just a short ride from Orlando and have the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra in both trims, so you can experience the chrome classic or the blacked-out beast for yourself. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of rolling out of the dealership, twisting the throttle, and realizing that three wheels doesn’t mean you’re giving up the ride—it just means you’re choosing comfort, confidence, and capability that keeps up with your adventure pace.
