The 2026 Road Glide 3 (Model FLTRT) looks stunningly modern in its striking Teal Thunder finish, blanketing the newly sculpted, frame-mounted Sharknose fairing, 6-gallon fuel tank, and widened rear fenders. This deep, electrifying hue pairs perfectly with either a full chrome or a blacked-out trim option, contrasting beautifully against the gloss-black five-spoke cast-aluminum wheels with machined details. Tucked neatly inside the protective fairing is a clean, analog-free cockpit anchored by a massive 12.3-inch color TFT touchscreen running the Skyline™ OS, keeping navigation, media, and customizable ride modes fully visible at a glance.
The mechanical framework undergoes an absolute revolution for 2026, driven by the updated Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117 engine. Featuring Variable Valve Timing, this 1923cc powerplant delivers 105 horsepower and a staggering 129 ft-lbs of low-end torque straight through twin slash-down mufflers. Replacing the rigid live axle of previous years is a game-changing de Dion rear suspension coupled with a Watts linkage, which sheds 68 pounds of unsprung weight and doubles wheel travel to 5 inches for an exceptionally plush, flat-cornering ride. The hot-rod package is tied together with a newly integrated differential-mounted reverse drive and an extensive suite of electronic Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements.
