The remainder of the 2025 Harley-Davidson lineup has been revealed, with a new Ultra version of the popular Street Glide, a street-ified Pan America, and tweaks to various cruisers. Also in the lineup are four new CVO models.
2025 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Ultra
We’ve seen Ultra variants of various Harleys over the years but never on a FLHX Street Glide. That changes in 2025 with the new FLHXU. Like previous H-D Ultras, this one is equipped with a more robust touring setup that includes fairing lowers to shelter legs, a well-padded passenger seat with a large backrest and armrests, and a nicely sized Tour Pak topped with a luggage rack.
In the engine room is… unknown at press time. H-D gave us access to limited details of the newly released bikes before their official reveal on Jan. 23. Here’s what we know so far.
Harley says vaguely that the FLHXU “combines the comfort, technology, performance and design elements introduced on the 2024 Street Glide, with new features intended to support two-up, long-haul travel for riders seeking freedom and adventure.”
2025 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 ST
The Pan America has been one of Harley’s few success stories of bikes produced with liquid-cooled engines. It makes for a surprisingly good adventure bike, and it really excels on twisty roads when its 150-hp 1,250cc V-Twin can be unleashed.
The 2025 Pan America 1250 ST leans heavier on the pavement side of roads, using a 17-inch front wheel instead of the regular Pan America’s 19-inchers. Wheels, including the 17-inch rear, are cast aluminum. Other than the black paint with snazzy red pinstriping, the bike doesn’t reveal many other changes.
“The Pan America 1250 ST model, says Harley, “is a dynamic adventure-sport motorcycle that can be a practical daily ride, an exciting backroad apex chaser, and a capable weekend touring mount.”
2025 Harley-Davidson Cruisers
New to Harley’s 2025 Cruiser collection are six refreshed models in its Softail lineup: the club-style Low Rider S and ST, the nostalgic Heritage Classic, the iconic Fat Boy, the badass Street Bob, and the fat-tire Breakout.
Not much more was shared about these models, but we do know that each will feature a 117ci Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin for power. We suspect that the Low Riders will feature a High Output variant of the 117ci mill, as seen in certification documents. Expect power to jump from 103 hp to 114 horses and for weight to be trimmed slightly.
2025 Harley-Davidson Sportster S
The Sportster S and its Revolution Max engine sourced from the Pan America entertained us when ridden at its launch in 2021. It was fast and looked distinctive but with an old-school flat-track vibe.
“Its light weight, technology features, and bold design appeal to experienced riders, new riders, and those ready to step away from the crowd on a motorcycle that discards traditional styling tropes,” H-D says inspirationally.
The bike’s most obvious shortcoming was found in the rear suspension, with only 2.0 inches of travel. This appears to have been addressed in the 2025 Sportster S.
Harley says the front and rear suspension components have been revised and revealed a 60% increase in rear-wheel travel. That computes to 3.2 inches of stroke to smooth out bumps. Both ends are fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping and spring preload. The suspension tweaks apparently haven’t affected the bike’s 29.6-inch seat height.
2025 Harley-Davidson CVO (Custom Vehicle Operation)
Harley-Davidson CVO models are the crème de la crème of the MoCo’s lineup, always with the latest features and stunning paintwork. The 2025 editions comprise four models that “offer discerning riders super-premium, limited-production motorcycles.”
Naturally, there are CVO versions of Harley’s most popular models: the Street Glide and the Road Glide baggers, plus a CVO Road Glide ST, which is the MoCo’s racing-inspired bagger that debuted last year and was powered by an exclusive Milwaukee-Eight 121 H.O. engine.
Joining the CVO party for the second time is the versatile Pan America. It will be outfitted with special paint and a bunch of off-road accessories. “It’s capable of seeking adventure where any paved and unpaved route leads its rider.”
