The Road Glide® Ultra combines the light handling and wind-splitting aerodynamics of a frame-mounted fairing with a full complement of touring appointments for the devoted long distance rider and passenger. The innovative Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's powerful engines.

Once again setting the standard as the “tourer’s touring bike,” the Road Glide® Ultra takes comfort, convenience and functionality to the next level. All the outstanding handling properties of the unique “shark nose,” framemounted fairing are combined with the added convenience of a deluxe King Tour-Pak™ carrier, fairing lowers with integral glove boxes, a huge 1690 cc Twin Cam 103™ engine, Anti-lock Brakes and a Smart Security System all standard.

The Road Glide® Ultra doesn’t stop at functionality. This modern beauty showcases all the attention to detail that Harley-Davidson is known for. A clean, sleek profile. A unique Road Glide® Ultra medallion on the Tour-Pak® carrier. Woven-nylon, soft luggage liners. Deep rich paint and chrome. There’s no mistaking this bike for anything but true, authentic Harley-Davidson.

Touring Models: The Legend Rolls On

All eight Harley-Davidson® Touring models are powered by a Twin Cam 103TM engine with Automatic Compression Release and an integrated oil cooler. Producing 102 ft. lbs. of peak torque at 3500 rpm, the Twin Cam 103TM engine provides an outstanding performance around town and on the open road. All Touring models also feature the 6-Speed Cruise DriveTM transmission, 41.3 mm telescopic front forks, air-adjustable rear shocks and Isolated Drive System for smooth power delivery. The Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis has a single-spar, rigid-backbone frame and two-piece swingarm designed to deliver responsive manoeuvrability and long-haul durability. Chassis geometry and suspension are calibrated to deliver confident handling and comfort.

All Touring models except the Ultra Limited will offer a new "tubeless" Chrome Lace Aluminium Wheel option for ease of tire replacement and repair. Six new colours or colour combinations are among the 12 paint options offered within the 2012 Touring model line.
