2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide Review
Practice a commanding performance in shark-nose style with the all-new Road Glide. It combines the soul of the bike with the comfort, convenience, and confidence of a three-wheeler.
Aerodynamic Styling for Long-Haul Comfort
Remember the VR1000? It has been over two decades since Harley-Davidson had a factory road-racing effort. Thanks to Kyle Wyman’s performance in Moto America’s 2021. The nap is now over. Taking inspiration from that event to create a new-trim level called the ‘ST’ for the 2024 Road Glide, this bike is now heavily customized.
While ST stands for ‘Sport Touring,’ riders nowadays lean into the performance side of the equation on touring motorcycles. As a result, the ST now gets the 117ci motor which was previously only available on comparatively expensive bikes.
For Long Drives With Yourself
Harley has historically classified the Glide as a “Grand American Tourer.” The H-D Road Glide features the Milwaukee-Eight 117 ci V-Twin engine. It is capable of 106 horsepower at 4750 rpm and 127 lb-ft of torque at 3750 rpm. And thanks to an upgraded camshaft, the intake and exhaust provide 6.7 percent more torque with a claimed curb weight of 842 pounds. Nothing feels quite like a V-Twin with that extra oomph.
More noticeably, the suspension in the Road Glide has been upgraded with taller preload-adjustable shocks. As a result, the Road Glide ST increases to 3.0 inches of travel compared to the 2.1 inches usually available in base bikes. Moreover, there is a noticeable increase in lean angle before the floorboards start scraping.
A Bike Made for the Long Ride
There also is an optional set of Screamin’ Eagle shocks if you are looking for more. They are 13 inches tall and provide the most prolonged travel Harley has ever offered. And then they look pretty tricky, with remote reservoirs peeking out between the rear fender and the saddlebags.
Harley wants it to be the starting point for bikers who want to build a performance bagger. But then, more than differentiation is needed to justify the creation of a new model. So the H-D Road Glide also lets’ you have minor cosmetic tweaks, like a shorter front fender, blacked-out drivetrain, shallower saddlebags, and passenger seat/peg delete. Nevertheless, it rides like the base Road Glide with a little more oomph and cornering clearance.
Where Riding Is Your Passion
Many Harley enthusiasts pushing this genre forward locally are jacking up bikes by three-plus inches for cornering clearance. They are also slapping on stereotypical sport bikes components like Brembo master cylinders/calipers, Ohlins suspension, and 17-inch wheels for stickier rubber.
The Road Glide ST is available in Vivid Black and Gunship Gray models. And there is an optional Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements package powered by a six-axis IMU at extra cost. It features cornering traction control, cornering ABS, drag torque slip control, linked brakes, hill hold, and tire pressure monitors.
