Harley-Davidson has unveiled its 2026 Street Glide Limited, the pinnacle of the brand’s standard touring lineup before the limited CVO series. Powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine (1,923 cc), the bike delivers 131 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm, paired with a 6-speed transmission. Since 2010, the Limited models have represented the top of Harley’s regular production, and the 2026 version continues that tradition with a blend of performance, luxury, and classic design cues.
What’s new in the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine?
The 2026 Street Glide Limited uses the same Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine found in the more expensive CVO models. According to Rider Magazine, the engine provides instant throttle response with a signature Harley vibration. The 1,923 cc V-twin produces 131 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm, offering strong low-end pull for effortless cruising.
Design and display: a mix of heritage and technology
The exterior has been updated with sleeker lines, full LED lighting front and rear. The standout feature is the 12.3-inch color TFT touchscreen display, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A new 200-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system ensures premium sound even at highway speeds.
How much will the Street Glide Limited cost in Saudi Arabia?
Harley-Davidson has not announced official Saudi pricing yet. Based on the US price of USD 30,999 (approximately SAR 116,000), the expected price in Saudi Arabia ranges from SAR 180,000 to SAR 200,000 after taxes and import duties. Contact your local dealer for confirmation.
Comparison with CVO: is it better?
While the CVO models offer a larger Milwaukee-Eight 131 engine and exclusive paint options, the Street Glide Limited delivers about 90% of the experience at roughly half the price. Key differences: the Limited has a slightly smaller engine (117 vs. 131), lacks some premium paint choices, and uses a traditional rear suspension instead of the CVO’s air suspension.
When will it arrive in Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
The 2026 Street Glide Limited is expected to reach Harley-Davidson dealers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE in Q3 2026. Pre-orders can be placed through official dealer websites. For Gulf climates, the bike features liquid cooling, making it suitable for high temperatures.
Rider assistance technologies
The 2026 model includes a suite of electronic aids: ABS, traction control, acceleration slip control, and tire pressure monitoring. Three riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport) adjust engine response and braking characteristics to suit conditions.
