The new Harley Road Glide already reveals itself as a new, much more modern version of the bagger with cool Sharknose thanks to its massively modified look. The fairing is basically also effective, only at very low temperatures you realise that your hands are not optimally protected. It is all the more pleasing that this handlebar position leads to an amazingly agile riding performance for a 380-kilo bike; the Road Glide can be controlled very precisely and intuitively even in tight twisties. Only the suspension could be more sensitive, for the price there could have been more adjustment options than just the rear suspension preload and the brakes could also require a little less manual force. However, the powerful and superior engine fits in extremely well with the character of the Road Glide, and the extensive features with Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and the huge touchscreen are fantastic.
