2026 Harley-Davidson Super Glide First Look: 9 Key Facts

Harley-Davidson revives its legendary Super Glide nameplate for 2026, but this isn’t your dad’s FX. Built on the latest Softail platform, the new Super Glide ditches the dual-shock Dyna-era setup for a single-shock chassis, making it the first single-shock Super Glide in history.

Priced at $15,999 MSRP, the patriotic edition celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States with a limited run of just 2,500 numbered bikes, all in White Onyx Pearl with Chrome Trim and iconic Bar and Shield graphics.

The heart of the machine is the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic V-twin, tuned for relaxed cruising with 98 horsepower at 4,600 rpm and a torque peak of 120 lb-ft arriving early at 2,500 rpm.

Three ride modes—Sport, Road, and Rain—let riders dial in their vibe, while the chassis geometry keeps things planted with a 64.2-inch wheelbase, 30-degree rake, and 6.2 inches of trail.

The suspension is simple but effective: a non-adjustable 5-inch fork up front and a spring-preload-adjustable rear shock with 3.4 inches of travel.

Braking is handled by a 300mm front disc with a four-piston caliper and a 292mm rear disc with a two-piston floating caliper, all backed by standard ABS and lean-sensitive traction control.

The tubeless wire-spoked wheels roll on Dunlop Harley-Davidson D401 rubber—100/90 up front and 150/80 at the rear—while the seat height sits at a low 26.2 inches for easy two-up riding.

The retro-modern styling leans hard into chrome, covering everything from the mini-ape handlebar and engine cases to the exhaust, rims, and even the belt-drive guard.

Lighting is all-LED, and the 5-gallon fuel tank houses a round 5-inch dash with an analog-style speedometer and an inset LCD. A USB-C charging port adds a modern touch, a far cry from the 1971 original.

The 2026 Super Glide is strictly a North American exclusive, available only in the U.S. and Canada, with passenger accommodations included for those who want company on the open road.
