HARLEY-DAVIDSON 2025 CRUISER MOTORCYCLES ARE INFUSED WITH ELEVATED PERFORMANCE AND TECHNOLOGY

New Street Glide Ultra Model with Advanced Touring Comfort and Power Three Limited-Production CVO Models with High-Performance Milwaukee-Eight Engines

MILWAUKEE (January 23, 2025) – Harley-Davidson further advances the performance, technology and style of its Cruiser, Grand American Touring and Custom Vehicle Operation (CVO) motorcycle models powered by the Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin powertrain for 2025. For the coming season, Harley-Davidson offers riders the market’s broadest range of large-displacement motorcycle models.

2025 Cruiser Models Feature New Power and Technology

The Harley-Davidson Cruiser motorcycle collection is infused with new technology, elevated performance and refreshed styling. The Cruiser lineup remains the most diverse in the Harley-Davidson motorcycle portfolio. Each of six very distinctive motorcycles represents a specific stylistic personality, from nostalgic to high performance to boldly custom. The Harley-Davidson Softail chassis with hidden mono shock rear suspension underpins each Cruiser motorcycle. The 2025 Cruiser line includes the following models: Low Rider S, Low Rider ST, Breakout, Heritage Classic, Fat Boy and Street Bob.

Three New Milwaukee-Eight 117 Powertrains – The 2025 Cruiser models will be powered by one of three new Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain variants with new cylinder heads, throttle body and intake manifold. Each is tuned – through difference in intake and exhaust scheme and ride mode programming – to offer performance that matches the personality of a specific Cruiser model and the anticipated expectations of that model’s customer. Each engine is Euro V+ Compliant (2024 emissions standards). Shared features of these engines include:

NEW Four-Valve Cylinder Heads feature the combustion chamber shape, oval intake ports and low-profile intake valve seats as introduced on 2023/24 Milwaukee-Eight 117/121 engines for Grand American Touring and CVO models. These heads are designed to improve performance and fuel economy.

NEW Engine Oil is routed from a frame-mounted oil cooler through cylinder head cooling passages. This cylinder head cooling system further optimizes thermal comfort for the rider, especially in low-speed riding situations and hot weather. This air/oil cooled version of the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine weighs less that the Grand American Touring/CVO versions of the engine and does not require coolant system maintenance.

NEW Contoured Aluminum Intake Manifold offers a more-direct air path and creates a smooth transition from the round throttle body to the new oval intake ports to enhance intake air flow for improved power and reduced exhaust emissions.

NEW Improved Sound Quality as muffler and intake have been designed to enhance sound quality and match the character of each engine variant. Mufflers feature advanced lightweight material that works to trim high frequencies and emphasize low frequencies for a powerful sound.

Dual Counter-Balancers are tuned to eliminate primary vibration at idle while permitting some engine character to shine through at speed.
V-Twin Design with 45-degree cylinder angle maintains classic Harley-Davidson look-sound-feel.

Compression Ratio of 10.3:1 enhances torque at lower RPM and improves fuel economy.

Details of Three Engines

Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic (powers Street Bob and Heritage Classic models) is tuned with a flat torque curve to deliver satisfying street performance and emphasize ease in rideability. The single muffler and classic round air cleaner produce the distinctive Harley-Davidson sound quality. This engine delivers 120 lb. ft. (163 Nm) peak torque and 98 horsepower (73 kW), 4 percent more power and 1 foot pound more torque (U.S. spec) than the 2024 Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine it replaces for a performance boost. A 2-into-1 exhaust enhances engine tuning by promoting efficient scavenging of exhaust from the engine cylinders.

Milwaukee-Eight 117 Custom (powers Fat Boy and Breakout models) is tuned to deliver 104 horsepower (78 kW) and 126 lb. ft. (171 Nm) peak torque, 6 percent more power and 5 percent more torque (U.S. spec) than the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic engine for a performance boost. This engine will provide a significant power increase – 11 percent more horsepower and 6 percent more torque – over the 2024 Fat Boy 114 model. This engine is equipped with a 2-into-2 exhaust with individual catalysts. The Touring-style intake airbox volume is 4.0 liters, approximately 50 percent greater than 2024 Ventilator (Fat Boy model) and Heavy Breather (Breakout model) intakes, which improves power by providing more room for the in-molded velocity stack radius and greater volume of clean air. Intake noise is significantly reduced, which allows a more desirable, rumbling exhaust tone to predominate.

Milwaukee-Eight 117 H.O. (powers Low Rider S and Low Rider ST models) is tuned for riders that consistently seek performance in the upper RPM range and desire an aggressive sound profile. This engine delivers 114 horsepower (85 kW) and 128 lb. ft. peak torque (174 Nm) for an exciting boost in performance – 11 percent more peak horsepower (114 vs 103 horsepower) – compared to the 2024 Milwaukee-Eight 117 in the Low Rider S and Low Rider ST models. The high-performance SE8-511 camshaft developed for the Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output engine in the CVO Road Glide ST model delivers a top-end performance boost for strong acceleration in the mid and upper RPM range. Engine “redline” intervention is elevated from 5600 rpm (Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic and Custom engines) to 5900 rpm to give additional throttle headroom under strong acceleration. The Heavy Breather intake features an exposed forward-facing air filter element to maximize flow and adds intake tuning length that improves charging efficiency and peak torque. This intake also gives this engine high-performance style and spirited intake sound on acceleration. A 2-into-1 exhaust enhances engine performance by promoting efficient scavenging of exhaust from the engine cylinders while it delivers a satisfying low rumble at idle and powerful exhaust note under acceleration.

More Power Potential – Each of the new Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain variants for Cruiser models offer significantly more performance potential with the installation of Screamin’ Eagle Stage Kits and Screamin’ Eagle intake and exhaust components, compared to 2024 Milwaukee-Eight 114/117 engines.

Shared Harley-Davidson Cruiser Model Features

The following new features apply to each of the six 2025 Harley-Davidson Cruiser models:

NEW Selectable Ride Modes electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle and the level of technology intervention. Each Ride Mode consists of a specific combination of power delivery, engine braking, Cornering Antilock Braking System (C-ABS) and Cornering Traction Control System (C-TCS) settings. The redesigned hand controls incorporate a new right-hand MODE button the rider may use to change the active ride mode while riding the motorcycle or when stopped. A unique icon for each mode appears on the gauge display when that mode has been selected.
Road Mode: Intended for daily use, Road Mode emphasizes a flat torque curve and predictable throttle response for a smooth and easy ride that is great for the city or laying down the country miles.

Rain Mode: Designed to reduce engine torque as engine speed rises due to rear wheel slipping. This gives the rider greater confidence when riding in the rain or when traction is otherwise limited. Rain Mode offers a smooth and more subtle throttle response and deceleration that helps avoid rapid changes in torque and adds another layer of confidence in wet conditions.

Sport Mode: The rider can experience the full performance potential of the motorcycle with an exhilarating torque rise at low engine speeds, full power potential at high engine speeds and the quickest throttle response and more reactive engine breaking on deceleration. Sport Mode is specific to each engine variant:

– Classic Sport Mode features a flat and smooth toque curve with greater low- and high-speed torque that pulls hard in all gears and any speed, making it comfortable, forgiving, and easy to ride for days on end.

– Custom Sport Mode features a broad torque curve with strong mid-range and added torque at low and high speeds for a slight performance gain compared to 2024 Cruiser models with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine.

– H.O. Sport Mode features an exhilarating mid-range torque rise and pulls to 5,000 RPM, delivering the most power ever available in a Cruiser model. The rapid rise in torque offers a highly tuned, race-bike feel.

 

NEW Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson is standard equipment on all models. This collection of technologies is designed to enhance rider confidence during unexpected situations or adverse road conditions. Cruiser models feature the following elements of Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson:

  • Straight Line/Cornering Antilock Braking System (ABS/C-ABS)
  • Straight Line/Cornering Traction Control System (TCS/C-TCS)
  • Straight Line/Cornering Drag Torque Slip Control (DSCS/C-DSCS)
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPMS)

NEW Front and Rear Suspension is re-tuned for optimal performance and to provide improvement in both rider comfort and control. New straight-rate front and rear springs replace progressive-rate springs and contribute to improved balance between the front fork and rear monoshock, reduced harshness and pitch, with more-linear dive response from the front fork under heavy braking. The suspension components – rear coil-over monoshock and front fork – are visually unchanged. Seat height and suspension travel of all models is unchanged from 2024 specs. A remote pre-load adjustment knob on right side cover is no longer a feature on 2025 Fat Boy and Breakout models. Both models have under seat hydraulic pre-load adjustment in 2025.

NEW Hand Controls have been designed to enable the function of new features, to accommodate the new electrical system and to improve ergonomics. A new “flash head lamp to pass” lever is positioned near the left forefinger. Brake lever distance from the hand grip is adjustable for rider reach and preference.

NEW Instrument Displays for all Cruiser models are designed to be exceptionally readable for the rider and to present more information as required by new technical features. An analog speedometer display is above a multi-function LCD digital display. The rider can use the Trip hand control button to scroll through available information in the LCD display. The Low Rider ST, Low Rider S, Breakout and Street Bob models are equipped with a 4-inch diameter instrument. The Heritage Classic and Fat Boy models are equipped with a 5-inch diameter console-mounted instrument.

NEW All-LED Lighting – including headlamp, tail and brake lights and signals – enhance conspicuity. New LED taillights are now equipped with a distinct homogenous element.

NEW USB-C Power Port offers faster data transfer than the previous USB-A port, reversible plug orientation, and compatibility with newer devices. The port location is at the front-left side of the motorcycle beneath the fuel tank.

NEW Heated Gear Connectors have been relocated on all models from behind a side panel to the top of the rear fender below the seat where they are much easier to access. All models have two connectors.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Included: The TCS is designed to keep the rear wheel from “spinning out” when the motorcycle is accelerating in a straight line and enhances rider confidence.

Drag-torque Slip Control System (DSCS)

Included: DSCS is designed to reduce excessive rear-wheel slip and help prevent rear-wheel lock under powertrain-induced deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt downshift gear change or quickly reduces the throttle while on wet or slippery road surfaces.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Included: TPMS alerts the rider through the information display to low or high tire air pressure. Maintaining proper tire air pressure is important both for vehicle performance and tire life.

Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS)

Included: C-ABS is a variant of ABS that takes into consideration the lean angle of a two-wheel motorcycle, or the lateral acceleration of a Trike model. The brake pressure required to limit wheel slip when cornering is typically or lower than the pressure required under straight line operation.

Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS)

Included: C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.

Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS)

Included: On bikes equipped with C-DSCS, the system helps keep the rear wheel from slipping or locking up when you quickly downshift or let off the throttle, especially on wet or slippery roads. When turning, it can adjust based on how much a two-wheel bike is leaning or the side-to-side motion on a Trike.
