Grand American Touring Gets a 2026 Glow-Up
For those with a passion for long-haul adventures, the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Grand American Touring lineup is still the ultimate choice. Whether you’re hitting the highway or cruising through Asheboro’s scenic backroads, this lineup welcomes a few tweaks this year to elevate the ride further. Both the Street Glide® and Road Glide® continue to pack a punch with the robust Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, delivering ample power and torque for those open-road thrills.
The 2026 Street Glide® steals the spotlight with its unmistakable batwing fairing and the inclusion of advanced tech upgrades like the Skyline OS infotainment system. Featuring a vivid 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen, enhanced audio quality, and streamlined rider controls, this model is a tech-savvy cruiser’s dream. Harley-Davidson® didn’t stop there – the Road Glide®, with its iconic sharknose fairing, also benefits from new suspension refinements, ensuring mile after mile of smooth, controlled riding.
The 2026 Cruiser Family Gets a Fresh Twist
Harley-Davidson® Cruisers are turning heads in 2026 with small yet meaningful updates aimed at fueling your riding passion. The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engines remain the heartbeat of this category, offering torque-heavy performance across all six models. This year, you’ll find fresh color palettes and updated finishes that amplify each motorcycle’s unique style, from the stripped-down Street Bob® to the chrome-heavy Fat Boy®.
Low Rider® fans, get ready for exciting news. The Low Rider S and Low Rider ST dominate with their aggressive stance, clean lines, and rider-first ergonomics. New tech refinements and fresh design details make 2026 the year to claim your Cruiser. These motorcycles are ready to hit the road – are you?
Bold Moves for the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Sport
If you thought the Harley-Davidson® Sport category held back in the past, think again. For 2026, these performance-driven machines get a fresh dose of style and function, turning heads and taking no prisoners.
The Sport lineup continues to offer the Revolution Max powerplant, but this year introduces striking new engine covers that catch the eye and emphasize its modern edge. The Nightster® gets revamped too, with an exciting new option package featuring a bold Blood Orange paint job, graphics inspired by Harley-Davidson’s flat-track heritage, chrome exhaust shields, and sleek 14-spoke aluminum wheels.
These updates are set to roll into dealerships globally by early 2026, cementing the Sport family as a go-to choice for riders seeking thrills with unmistakable Bar and Shield character.

Semi-active suspension ensures a smooth ride over rugged terrains, and the 6.8-inch TFT touchscreen remains an intuitive hub for essential ride information.
