CVO Street Glide ST FLHXSE (MY2026)

The Bagger That Bites Back

The Machine's Character

The CVO Street Glide ST is Harley's touring flagship taken to its loudest technical conclusion. A liquid-cooled 45° V-twin at 1977 cc puts out 126 hp and 145 lb-ft, and the way that torque sits under you at any highway speed is what defines the machine. The chassis backs it up with an upside-down fork and adjustable suspension front and rear, plus Adaptive Ride Height that drops the bike at a stop and lifts it once you're rolling. Skyline OS runs the cockpit, and the digital side of this bike is as complete as anything with two wheels.

On the road it does what a full-dress bagger has to do: hold a line at speed, soak up hours, and carry two people with luggage without the rider feeling it in their shoulders. At 823 lb wet with a 27.5 in seat, it's heavy but low, so the weight disappears above walking pace. Cornering ABS, traction control, ride modes, cruise, heated grips, and TPMS all come standard. The honest caveat: 6.0 gal is a fair tank, not a huge one, and this bike drinks when you use the engine the way it invites you to.
