Two of Harley-Davidson’s best-selling bagger models – the Street Glide and the Road Glide – now feature more streamlined bodywork first seen on their CVO counterparts. Both are powered by a Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twins with a revised cooling system, and new for 2024 are selectable ride modes: Road, Sport, Rain, and Custom.

Harley-Davidson says the new CVO Road Glide ST is the company’s “quickest, fastest, and most sophisticated performance bagger.” The West Coast-style bagger is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output V-Twin, an engine exclusive to this model that churns out 127 hp and 145 lb-ft of asphalt-buckling torque. Selectable ride modes include Road, Sport, Track, Track Plus, Rain, and multiple Custom modes.

Lightweight materials, including mufflers with titanium shells, an oil pan made of composite, and forged carbon fiber used in the muffler end caps, front fender, seat cowl, and tank console, along with revised wheels and wave-style front brake rotors, help keep dry weight to 800 lb, 25 lb less than the CVO Road Glide.

The CVO Road Glide ST is equipped with fully adjustable Showa suspension, with an inverted 47mm 1×1 fork and dual rear shocks with remote reservoirs, and Brembo braking components.

A full suite of infotainment is powered by Skyline OS, and a large color touchscreen replaces all analog instrumentation and most switches. Premium audio includes a 500-watt amplifier and Rockford Fosgate Stage II 6.5-inch fairing speakers.

The CVO Road Glide ST will be available in two paint schemes: Golden White Pearl or Raven Metallic. In addition to CVO 25th Anniversary graphics, a Screamin’ Eagle graphic on the fairing sides and fuel tank is inspired by the Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson Factory motorcycles raced in the MotoAmerica King Of The Baggers series.

Harley-Davidson’s Pan America has been one of the best-selling adventure bikes in the U.S. since its debut in 2021. The new CVO Pan America retains all the features of the Pan America 1250 Special, including the Revolution Max 1250 engine with multiple ride modes, semi-active suspension, and more.

  1. I’m liking that CVO Road Glide with the 121cu. Milwaukee 8. I haven’t bought a new one since I bought my 02 right after the 01 dealers meeting. They were tough to find back in the day. Gonna be 68 in April, hopefully I have a few more years to enjoy a new bike.

    • These are clearly formulaic H-D’s, nothing really too far off the beaten path. I am 71, and my very first bike was a Harley. What puzzles me is to whom these are being marketed. Not people in my age bracket (although I have the means to buy any bike I want). I can’t see the younger folks forking out 25 to 35 grand for these bikes. So, I guess that leaves somebody in between ? Not sure what Harley’s demographics are for marketing at this point. In any event, I hope HD survives and can figure out a way to keep the marque alive.

  2. I am 60 years old. Ride less than I used to…but still weekly…and a trip or two a year. There is NO way I could afford a $30000+ motorcycle. Heck I couldn’t even afford a car that cost that much!!!!!

  3. I was hoping for a sporty light motorcycle with good power and handling. The Sportster S with real suspension , wheel travel , 25 degree rake, proper trail and a 120/17 front tire. Not this year.
