Luxury Touring Redefined
The Harley-Davidson Road Glide® Limited has long been synonymous with the pinnacle of touring motorcycles. This machine isn’t just about conquering miles; it’s about experiencing the journey in unparalleled comfort and style. For 2024, Harley-Davidson elevates the Road Glide® Limited to even greater heights, offering a comprehensive redesign that blends luxurious amenities, cutting-edge technology, and legendary touring prowess into a machine unlike any other.
A Sharper Edge for Enhanced Performance
The 2024 Road Glide® Limited boasts a completely redesigned fairing that sets it apart from its predecessors. While retaining the instantly recognizable shark-nose profile, Harley-Davidson has sculpted it for improved aerodynamic efficiency. This translates to a more streamlined silhouette that deflects wind more effectively, reducing buffeting for both rider and passenger at highway speeds, making long journeys even more comfortable.
The redesigned fairing integrates a new, larger Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) for enhanced visibility on the road, a crucial safety feature for low-light conditions. Premium chrome finishes and a sleek Tour-Pak luggage carrier seamlessly blend with the fairing, creating a visually stunning and aerodynamically optimized machine.
Uncompromising Power: The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Engine
At the heart of the 2024 Road Glide® Limited lies the mighty Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, the largest displacement powerplant ever offered by Harley-Davidson from the factory. This air-cooled V-twin powerhouse delivers an impressive 105 horsepower at 4,600 rpm and 130 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm, providing ample muscle for effortlessly conquering loaded touring adventures.
A high-flow air intake system optimizes engine performance, while the high-flow exhaust system ensures a throaty rumble that retains the unmistakable Harley-Davidson spirit. Despite its impressive power, the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine prioritizes fuel efficiency, allowing riders to explore vast distances without frequent gas station stops.
Luxury Redefined: A Haven for Rider and Passenger
The 2024 Road Glide® Limited isn’t just about power and performance; it’s about creating a luxurious touring experience. The redesigned chassis boasts a new, lighter frame that enhances handling and agility without sacrificing stability on the open road. The suspension system, featuring a Dual Bending Valve (DBV) front fork and a single rear shock absorber with adjustable preload and rebound damping, delivers a smooth and controlled ride on any road surface.
The ergonomically designed heated seats and handlebars (standard equipment) provide optimal comfort for both rider and passenger, even on extended journeys. Ample legroom and a comfortable seating position ensure fatigue-free miles. Premium audio system with speakers strategically placed within the fairing delivers exceptional sound quality, while a Boom Box GTS infotainment system with a large touchscreen display allows riders to control audio, navigation, and phone calls with ease. The 2024 Road Glide® Limited is a motorcycle designed to pamper riders on every journey.
Tech-Savvy Touring: A Command Center for the Modern Rider
The 2024 Road Glide® Limited embraces the digital age with a comprehensive suite of technological features. A large, color TFT touchscreen display, conveniently located within the redesigned fairing, serves as the information hub. Riders can easily access vital information such as speed, fuel level, engine diagnostics, and turn-by-turn navigation (when paired with a compatible smartphone). The display is designed for optimal readability in all lighting conditions, ensuring riders have access to critical information at a glance.
Harley-Davidson’s intuitive infotainment system allows riders to control audio functions, phone calls, and other features directly through the touchscreen or via handlebar controls. This integration of technology ensures a safe and enjoyable riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the road ahead.
Safety First: Advanced Rider Aids for Confidence
The 2024 Road Glide® Limited prioritizes rider safety with a suite of advanced rider aids powered by a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Cornering Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS), Cornering Traction Control System (C-TCS), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Hill Hold Control (HHC) work seamlessly in the background to provide an extra layer of safety, particularly in challenging weather conditions or unexpected situations.
These features can help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces, alert the rider of potential tire pressure issues, and prevent the motorcycle from rolling backward on inclines. By incorporating these advanced safety features, Harley-Davidson demonstrates its commitment to rider safety and confidence on the road.
A Canvas for Customization: Tailoring the Ride to Your Style
The 2024 Road Glide® Limited isn’t a one-size-fits-all machine. Harley Davidson offers a wide range of factory-installed and dealer-installed accessories that allow riders to personalize their touring experience. From performance upgrades like a Stage kit to enhance power, to comfort features like a passenger backrest and floorboards, the options are plentiful. Riders can also choose from a variety of luggage options, windshields of different heights, and custom paint jobs with premium finishes to create a Road Glide® Limited that reflects their unique touring style.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider seeking the ultimate in long-distance luxury and technological prowess, or a new rider drawn to the Road Glide® Limited’s iconic shark-nose fairing and unparalleled comfort, the extensive customization options allow you to tailor the machine to your specific needs and preferences. The 2024 Road Glide® Limited is a motorcycle that can adapt and evolve alongside your riding journey.
