Harley-Davidson has once again turned heads with the launch of the 2026 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST, a bike that blends high performance with striking style. This model is part of Harley’s Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) range, which means it gets more power, exclusive design touches, and premium features compared with regular Road Glide bikes. The CVO Road Glide ST represents a fresh chapter in big-bike touring combining race-inspired performance with long-distance comfort for riders who want it all.
Bold and Eye-Catching Design
The 2026 CVO Road Glide ST stands out the moment you see it. It has a shark-nose fairing that gives the bike a distinctive, aggressive look and a red-tint windshield that enhances its bold front profile. The design includes forged carbon fiber parts on the front fender, console, and rear seat cowl, which not only look premium but also reduce weight for better handling. The bike is available in striking color options like Citrus Heat Re-Entry, Inferno Gray, and Electric Coast, each with bold graphics that underline the CVO’s special status.
Powerful and Refined Engine
At the heart of the 2026 CVO Road Glide ST is the Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output engine, one of the most powerful production engines Harley-Davidson currently offers. This large V-twin unit produces impressive torque and horsepower figures that give the bike strong acceleration and confident performance on highways.
Premium Features That Matter
The CVO badge does more than add special paint and carbon accents it brings a suite of premium features that enhance comfort and ride experience. Adjustable SHOWA™ suspension lets riders fine-tune how the bike handles, which is especially useful when moving from city streets to twisty backroads. The bike also includes dual floating brake rotors for powerful stopping performance.
Riding Comfort Meets Sporty Performance
Despite its strong performance focus, the CVO Road Glide ST doesn’t forget comfort. The seat and ergonomics are designed to make long rides less tiring, giving riders good support for extended trips. The tall risers and handlebar position reduce fatigue, and the bike’s suspension smooths out bumps and uneven road surfaces.
Price and Value
For many riders, the question is often how much such a special bike costs. The 2026 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST has a starting price listed around $49,499 USD (roughly equivalent to ₹41-42 lakh in India), placing it in the premium segment of touring motorcycles.
