Harley-Davidson has once again raised the bar with the unveiling of the 2025 CVO Road Glide RR—a high-performance, limited-edition bagger built for enthusiasts who demand race-ready engineering in a road-going machine. Revealed just ahead of Daytona, this bike is a direct evolution of Harley-Davidson’s dominance in the King of the Baggers racing series.

With only 131 units being produced worldwide, the Road Glide RR is not just an exclusive collector’s piece—it’s the most performance-focused bagger ever to roll off Harley’s production line.

The Powerhouse

At the core of this engineering marvel is the most powerful Milwaukee-Eight engine Harley has ever factory-installed: the Screamin’ Eagle 131 V-Twin (2147cc). This beast delivers:

• 153 hp (114 kW) at 5750 RPM
• 204 Nm of torque at 4750 RPM

The engine isn’t just about raw numbers; it features advanced performance upgrades straight from Harley’s racing division:

• Liquid-cooled cylinder heads for improved thermal efficiency
• CNC-ported combustion chambers for optimized airflow
• Oversized intake (42mm) and exhaust (34mm) valves to maximize power delivery
• High-performance SE8-550 camshaft for aggressive throttle response
• High-volume oil pump and racing injectors for sustained performance under extreme conditions

Harley-Davidson didn’t just give the CVO Road Glide RR a powerful engine—it equipped it with some of the best high-performance components available.

Suspension & Chassis

• Öhlins FGR 253 Hypersport Superbike forks for race-level handling
• Dual Screamin’ Eagle Öhlins Remote Reservoir rear shocks for stability and control
• Billet aluminum swingarm (10% stiffer and 10% lighter than standard) for enhanced responsiveness

Braking System

• Brembo GP4-RX CNC front calipers for exceptional stopping power
• T-Drive rotors for better heat dissipation and durability

Weight & Aerodynamics

Harley has managed to shave off over 20 kg compared to the CVO Road Glide ST, bringing the curb weight down to 340 kg. This reduction, combined with a raised ride height of 2 inches, increases lean angles to:

• 36 degrees (right)
• 35 degrees (left)

Advanced Tech & Rider Experience

Despite its racing DNA, the CVO Road Glide RR is packed with modern rider-focused technology:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen with Skyline OS for seamless control
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for device integration
• Apple CarPlay compatibility for easy navigation and media access
• Premium Harley-Davidson Audio by Rockford Fosgate for an immersive sound experience

Comprehensive Safety & Rider Assistance

Harley has integrated cutting-edge safety and control systems to enhance both everyday riding and track performance:

• Cornering ABS for optimal braking in turns
• Traction Control to maintain grip on different surfaces
• Vehicle Hold Control to assist in steep inclines and stop-and-go traffic

Six Riding Modes for Every Situation

Harley-Davidson has fine-tuned the CVO Road Glide RR for a variety of riding experiences, offering six distinct modes:

• Road Mode – Balanced settings for daily riding
• Sport Mode – Maximum performance with aggressive throttle response
• Rain Mode – Increased traction control for wet conditions
• Track Mode – Developed with racer Kyle Wyman for serious track performance
• Track Plus Mode – Minimal electronic intervention for experienced riders
• Four Custom Modes – Fully adjustable settings tailored to the rider’s preferences

This isn’t just a performance machine—it’s a visual masterpiece. Inspired by Harley-Davidson’s racing team, the Road Glide RR features:

• Carbon fiber elements exposed under a clear coat for a high-performance aesthetic
• Screamin’ Eagle racing graphics flowing across the fairing and fuel tank
• Hog Black engine finish with Racing Orange accents for a bold contrast
• Aerodynamic fairing with integrated LED lighting for enhanced visibility
• Dark Smoke Wind Splitter windshield to improve aerodynamics at high speeds

With a USD price tag of $110,000, the CVO Road Glide RR isn’t for everyone—it’s for those who want the absolute best in performance, exclusivity, and engineering. While it’s not officially available in New Zealand, passionate Harley enthusiasts will no doubt find ways to import this ultimate bagger.

With its limited production, cutting-edge technology, and race-proven performance, the 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR cements itself as one of the most exciting factory Harley-Davidsons ever built.
