Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1870 Tri Glide Ultra FLHTCUTG 2022 Harley triptych in M8

The Tri Glide is a very special machine. As you've all seen, it's a trike. But more importantly, it's the only factory Trike in the world. Harley introduced it to France in 2014, five years after relaunching production in the USA. For the Milwaukee-based manufacturer, this machine has a special place in its history. Harley produced trikes for almost half a century, from 1932 to 1973.

Introducing the Tri Glide to our market is quite an initiative, almost a challenge. Based on the Electra Glide Ultra Classic, to which we've added a specific rear structure, two car wheels, characteristic braking and a large King Tour Pak boot, this machine is sure to turn a lot of heads. It weighs in at over 560 kilos and is 50% wider than a 1800 Goldwing. What a piece of work! With its three wheels, the Tri Glide offers an incomparable riding experience.

The Harley trike benefits from all the evolutions of the Rushmore project. These include the BOOM! - multimedia center , which in 2019 will be upgraded to the GTS version - faster, more efficient, with a much better screen rendering, Apple CarPlay and simplified navigation - , the Batwing fairing with a central air intake, interconnected ABS braking, improved passenger seat, the One Touch philosophy for easy opening of the various on-board hatches, Daymaker LED headlights, a 49 mm fork and an extensive list of equipment such as the rear axle.

in 2020, it's all about riding aids. Like its Freewheeler sibling, the Tri Glide Ultra is equipped with special RDRS. These include C-ELB (cornering electronic braking system), C-ABS (cornering ABS system), C-TCS (cornering traction control system) and C-DSCS (cornering residual torque control system).
And while we're on the subject of silicon, let's not forget the Harley's ability to communicate with a smartphone, providing the owner with information on range, fuel level, mileage and a whole lot of other info, as well as a warning if it takes a bump, or even an alert if it's being moved in a dubious manner, outside a defined area. The system is called H-D Connect, and is supplied for one year, after which it can be extended by subscription.

The hot item since 2017 is the introduction of the Milwaukee-Eight engine. Installed here in its Twin Cooled version, which means it's partially water-cooled. With its impressive cubic capacity, 4 valves per cylinder and various improvements, the engine now delivers 16.3 mkg of torque, almost 1 mkg more than the previous opus 107. The result is even greater comfort and peace of mind when revving this imposing machine. To find out more about the Milwaukee Eight engine, click here ->.

A trike, in addition to its very typical ride, can give you certain amenities (and inconveniences) that can only be found on a car. The Tri Glide has electric reverse, a 124-liter trunk, a parking brake, and stability that's impossible on a two-wheeler... just like cornering. Original, with a hint of prestige, the 1868 Tri Glide Ultra is not for novices either. In addition to its driveability, this machine demands a handsome wallet, with an entry price of over €40,000. A special feature is that it can be driven with a car license, giving it access to a wider panel of connoisseurs.
