LAB-390-Harley-Davidson 2025 Models: Big Changes, New Street Glide Ultra, and What You Need to Know

Author: Ryan Urlacher | Street Biker, Motorcycle Rider January 29, 2025 Duration: 1:47:10

In this episode, we discuss the official launch of the Harley-Davidson 2025 Models.  The cruiser lineup received the Milwaukee-eight 117 cubic inch engine customized to each bike. One of the standout updates across the cruiser lineup is the addition of ride modes (Rain, Sport, and Road) as standard—a feature previously reserved for touring models.

There are two new models for 2025.  One is the Street Glide Ultra and the other is the Pan America 1250 ST.

Harley-Davidson's touring lineup includes incremental updates:

  • Over-the-Air Updates: New models feature over-the-air software updates for the Infotainment Control Unit (IFCU), eliminating the need for manual downloads and uploads.
  • Street Glide Ultra: A new addition with a fixed trunk, redesigned lower fairings, a taller windshield, and optional heated grips. Available in chrome or black trim, it's tailored for long-haul comfort.

The all-new Pan America 1250 ST bridges the gap between street and adventure bikes with:

  • Quick shifter
  • Michelin Scorcher street tires
  • Lower seat height and adaptive ride height
  • Slimmer design with reduced radiator shroud size
  • This model is perfect for riders transitioning from sports bikes to Harley-Davidson's lineup.
