CVO Street Glide Limited FLHXSE (MY2026)

This CVO Street Glide Limited is Harley-Davidson's full-dress touring flagship. Its core is the liquid-cooled Milwaukee-Eight VVT, a 1977 cc 45° V-twin that makes 139 lb-ft of torque and 115 hp at just 4,500 rpm. That puts all of the pull where a loaded bagger actually lives. The Limited package adds the Tour-Pak, which turns an already capable bagger into a proper two-up travel machine. It carries a complete modern suite: a TFT display with navigation and smartphone connectivity, cruise control, TPMS, cornering ABS, traction control and ride modes. On the technology side, few bikes in the touring class are this thoroughly connected.

Out on the road it's all about calm. The long, heavy chassis settles in at interstate speed and holds its line, and the Rockford Fosgate Stage II audio makes long days pass easily. Reliability should be solid, and the aftermarket for this platform is practically endless, so you can make the bike your own for years. It's built for riders who measure trips in states rather than miles. The honest caveat: at 944 lb (428 kg) wet this is serious mass, and you feel every pound of it when you're wheeling it around the garage. Check that recall 26V270 has been completed before you buy.
