Both models deliver convenience, technology and styling features that align with premium Harley-Davidson two-wheel Grand American Touring motorcycles.
NEW Custom Vehicle Operation™ (CVO™): Five 2026 CVO™ motorcycles represent the pinnacle of Harley-Davidson design, technology and performance. These limited production, super-premium motorcycles feature show-stopping finishes, elevated performance and exclusive components. The 2026 CVO portfolio includes the all-new CVO™ Street Glide® ST, CVO™ Street Glide® Limited and CVO™ Street Glide® 3 Limited models and the revised CVO™ Road Glide® ST and CVO™ Street Glide® models.
NEW Pan America® 1250 Limited: This new Adventure Touring (ADV) model features a full kit of the most desirable accessories, factory-installed and designed to enhance its off-pavement readiness. Special features include a rugged aluminium top case and side case luggage with a combined capacity of 7,321 cubic inches (120 litres). A Screamin’ Eagle®quickshifter provides clutchless up and down shifts without risking transmission damage. A muffler guard, aluminium skid plate, and radiator guard are standard equipment for riding off pavement. The position of the rear brake and shifter pedals can be adjusted to enhance control and comfort when the rider is standing. The long list of factory-installed accessories makes this model an exceptional value for the customer who might otherwise purchase these popular accessories after owning a Pan America® 1250 Special model.
All the features that have made the Pan America 1250 Special a leading choice among discerning global Adventure Touring riders are retained, including semi-active front and rear suspension, tubeless laced wheels, Daymaker® Signature Adaptive Headlamp technology, nine selectable ride modes, including off-road modes and a full suite of Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson. Adaptive Ride Height (ARH) automatically transitions the motorcycle between a low stopped position and optimal ride height when the motorcycle is in motion. The system allows the rider to mount the Pan America 1250 Limited model with ease, and to confidently put feet down to the ground at a stop. Hand guards and heated grips are standard. Display and infotainment generated by the rider’s Bluetooth-equipped mobile device is presented on a 6.8-inch colour TFT (thin-film-transistor) touchscreen. The Revolution® Max 1250 Powertrain is a liquid-cooled 1250cc-displacement V-Twin designed to offer flexible, engaging performance with a broad powerband that builds to a rush of high-RPM power (149 HP/111 kW @ 8750 rpm; 91 ft-lb (124 Nm) @ 6750 rpm).
Enthusiast Collection – Liberty Edition: As the United States of America celebrates 250 years of freedom, these special motorcycles honour the spirit of exploration and independence that inspired generations of travellers across this great country and the world. Three Harley-Davidson® models will be included in the Enthusiast Collection – Liberty Edition: the Street Glide®, Street Glide® 3 Limited and Heritage Classic®motorcycles. Each features a base colour of Midnight Ember, a heavy metallic black that is exclusive to the Liberty Edition. Special graphics include a Liberty Edition eagle graphic on fuel tank sides with see-through #1 medallion, Liberty Edition eagle graphic on the fairing, additional graphics and Liberty Edition console and engine cover inserts. Seats feature blue seam stitching, red/white/blue striped accent stitching, an embossed centre panel and embroidered Bar & Shield logo. Liberty Edition Street Glide and Heritage Classic models feature a blue-tint windshield. Mechanical features of each model are identical to the corresponding regular-production 2026 model.
