Following its December announcement of returning 2026 models, Harley-Davidson kicked off the new year with its “Chapter 2” global reveal of new and updated models for the current model year. Included in the announcement are 13 models in Harley-Davidson's CVO, Grand American Touring, Adventure, Trike, and Enthusiast Collection segments.
The web broadcast, which is available below, was hosted by Paul James, Harley-Davidson's director of public relations, and included special guests ranging from enthusiasts, influencers, and custom builders to engineers and Harley-Davidson factory racer Cory West. Part of the video also celebrated big milestones in 2026: the 100th anniversary of Route 66 and the 250th anniversary of America's independence.
2026 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited
Harley's top-selling Grand American Touring models – the Street Glide, known for its handlebar-mounted batwing fairing, and the Road Glide, which has a frame-mounted sharknose fairing – were updated for 2024. For 2026, they are joined by Limited versions of both models. Pricing for the Road Glide Limited and Street Glide Limited starts at $32,999.
Upgrades over the standard models include the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 (1,923cc) V-Twin rated at 106 hp at 4,600 rpm and 131 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm, which is a slight increase over the non-VVT (Variable Valve Timing) M-8 in the standard models.

2026 Harley-Davidson Street Glide 3 Limited and Road Glide 3
Harley-Davidson has revamped its Trike family with three models: Street Glide 3 Limited, Road Glide 3, and CVO Street Glide 3 Limited.
