Harley-Davidson's trike models have been a staple of the touring portfolio for years. In 2026, they are being relaunched with the Street Glide 3 Limited (FLHLT) and Road Glide 3 (FLTRT) models. Both feature a completely revamped rear suspension, which the manufacturer claims will significantly enhance comfort for both rider and passenger. The Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 engine powers these trikes, delivering 106 horsepower (78 kW) and 170 Nm of torque. According to Harley, the trikes combine the touring qualities of the Grand American Touring models with the stability of a three-wheeler—a combination that is particularly appreciated on long journeys or when riding with a passenger.

Prices:

• Street Glide 3 Limited: from 47,700 Euros (DE)
• Road Glide 3: from 38,900 Euros (DE)

Thus, the 2026 model year lineup of the American manufacturer is complete.

The cruiser family includes six models—Low Rider S, Low Rider ST, Heritage Classic, Breakout, Fat Boy, and Street Bob—all featuring the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin, each tuned differently depending on the model. The Sportster lineup is also being revamped: alongside the Sportster S and Nightster Special, the Nightster returns with a new look and standout details like the Blood Orange color.
