The Road Glide has always enjoyed cult status among Harley touring enthusiasts, thanks to its touring-focussed attributes. The frame-mounted fairing, LED headlamp, raised handlebars and a low seat make it perfect for long hauls. The Road Glide Special has a premium infotainment system with a 6.5-inch screen, ABS and a smart security system among other creature comforts.

Propelling the Road Glide Special is the Milwaukee Eight 107 engine. Rated at 151Nm of torque, the Milwaukee Eight 107 has a 45-degree V-twin configuration with four valves per cylinder. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission. The Road Glide rides on 19-inch front and 16-inch rear cast aluminium wheels.

The Harley-Davidson Road Glide is offered in four paint schemes – black, blue, red and silver. It shares the market space with other heavyweight touring motorcycles like the Indian Chief Vintage and the Honda Goldwing.
