2026 Harley-Davidson Trike Lineup – First Look

Harley-Davidson revealed its second-generation Trike platform, featuring a revised chassis, a redesigned rear suspension system, a new reverse system, and the latest styling and tech from its current Touring platform. For 2026, the three-wheel line-up consists of the Road Glide 3, the Street Glide 3 Limited, and the CVO Street Glide 3 Limited. Absent from the lineup is the fairing-less Freewheeler, which had been in production since the 2015 model year.

The non-CVO three-wheelers are powered by a new 1,923cc Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 engine, which produces a claimed 105 hp at 4,600 rpm and 129 lb-ft. at 3,250 rpm. According to Harley-Davidson, these figures represent a 13% increase in horsepower and 7.5% increase in peak torque compared to the M-8 114 engines on the 2025 Trikes. The CVO Street Glide 3 Limited uses a larger 1,977cc Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine, claiming 114 hp at 4,500 rpm and 138 lb-ft. at 3,750 rpm. The new engines offer liquid-cooled cylinder heads for more efficient cooling, improved intake and exhaust flow, and variable valve timing, which should offer better fuel efficiency while improving low-end performance.

The biggest change for the new Trike platform is a new de Dion-type rear suspension system. It’s not quite the independent rear suspension some people were hoping for, but it does offer a lot of benefits over the previous live axle design. The rear wheels are connected by a bow-shaped de Dion cast aluminum axle which floats above the chassis-mounted differential and drive shafts. A Watts linkage keeps the axle centered in the trike while still allowing it to tilt, while a stabilizer bar helps to minimize roll.

To accommodate the new suspension, the rear wheels are 1.5 inches farther apart compared to the previous platform, and the fenders were modified to accept the additional wheel travel. This led Harley-Davidson to redesign the rear footboards to provide passengers with more foot space. Harley-Davidson also extended the wheelbases by 1.6 inches to 67.7 inches to optimize front/rear weight distribution.

The second significant change is a new reverse system that relies on the starter motor instead of the separate electric reverse axle-mounted motor used on the previous Trikes. This resulted in a reduction in unsprung weight.

To activate reverse, the rider needs to press the dual-function Reverse/Start button while in first gear and the engine is idling. Pressing the shift lever down then disengages the engine and allows the starter engine to engage. A twist of the throttle will then move the trike in reverse. The reverse mode is limited in 20-second intervals to limit wear on the starter motor.

The new trikes are equipped with Harley-Davidson’s latest electronics package, including lean-sensitive linked anti-lock brakes, traction control, drag torque slip control, selectable ride modes, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The CVO Street Glide 3 Limited also gains vehicle hold control.

Other common changes include a 12.3-inch TFT color touchscreen with Harley-Davidson’s Skyline OS software, and the modern Touring fairings with integrated LED lighting.

2026 Road Glide 3

The Road Glide 3 gains the new shark-nosed fairing introduced on the 2024 Road Glide, along with a low-profile smoked windscreen. The one-piece two-up seat has a new shape to integrate with the new fuel tank design and side covers. Behind the seat is the weatherproof rear trunk, featuring a top-mounted door and 2.0 cubic feet of storage space.

The fairing houses two 6.5-inch Rockford Fosgate speakers powered by a four-channel 200-watt amplifier, which is an upgrade over the previous model’s 100-watt amp.

The 2026 Road Glide 3 starts at $36,799 in Dark Billiard Gray, with the price going up for Vivid Black, Blood Orange, Iron Horse Metallic, or Teal Thunder.

2026 Street Glide 3 Limited

The Street Glide 3 Limited essentially replaces the Tri Glide Ultra in Harley-Davidson’s lineup. It comes equipped with the modern batwing fairing, new fairing lowers with integrated fog lamps, and the new Grand Tour-Pak combination topcase and passenger backrest.

The two-up seat offers dual-zone heating and a new shape to improve comfort for both rider and passenger. New heated hand grips, cast aluminum passenger grab rails and adjustable highway footpegs also add to the comfort level. The Street Glide 3 Limited comes standard with a removable and adjustable heel shifter.

The Street Glide 3 Limited comes with two 6.5-inch speakers in the fairing plus two more in the Tour-Pak. The amplifier is the same four-channel 200-watt system as the Road Glide 3.

The 2026 Harley-Davidson Street Glide 3 starts at $39,199 in Dark Billiard Gray with chrome trim. The price goes up with black trim and the other color options: Vivid Black, Iron Horse Metallic, Brilliant Red, Olive Steel Metallic/Vivid Black, and Purple Abyss/Vivid Black. There’s also the Liberty Edition color option celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, which comes in Midnight Ember and Chrome trim, which starts at $43,199.

CVO Street Glide 3 Limited

Topping the Trike lineup is the new CVO Street Glide 3 Limited. Starting with the Street Glide 3 Limited as its base, the CVO model adds the M-8 VVT 121, an Alcantara EXO seat cover, a heated passenger backrest, a removable rider backrest, electronic remote locks to the Tour-Pak and trunk, a premium luggage rack, and a six-speaker Rockford Fosgate Stage II audio system.

The CVO Street Glide 3 Limited also ships with a Packtalk Edge wireless headset, a CVO-branded cover, luggage liners, and a trunk door organizer

The 2026 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide 3 Limited starts at $54,999 in Electric Coast blue with chrome trim, and moves up to $59,499 in Citrus Heat orange with black trim.
