With a price starting at $34,499 (or €32,275), the Tri Glide Ultra is not just a motorcycle; it’s an experience that promises freedom, adventure, and unparalleled riding pleasure. At the heart of this magnificent machine lies a powerful 1745cc V-twin four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 87 horsepower at 5,450 RPM and a robust torque of 152 Nm at 3,250 RPM. The smooth, responsive powerband is complemented by a 6-speed transmission, providing seamless acceleration and effortless cruising on highways.

The Tri Glide Ultra is packed with features that enhance comfort and convenience. It boasts an electric starter, a spacious 22.71-liter fuel tank for long journeys, and a plush seat height of 735 mm, making it accessible for riders of various sizes. The motorcycle comes equipped with advanced technology, including cruise control, an alarm system, and a foot-actuated dual parking brake, ensuring every ride is as secure as it is enjoyable. The windshield provides excellent wind protection, allowing riders to savor the scenery without the distraction of buffeting winds. With a variety of striking color options, from Vivid Black to Twisted Cherry, the Tri Glide Ultra stands out on any road. **

Pros

  • Exceptional Comfort: Ergonomically designed for long-distance rides, complete with a spacious seat and advanced suspension.
  • Stability and Handling: The trike configuration provides excellent stability and confidence for riders of all experience levels.
  • Well-Equipped: Loaded with features such as cruise control, advanced braking systems, and ample storage space.

Cons

  • Weight: At 546 kg (1,203.7 pounds), the Tri Glide Ultra is heavier than many two-wheeled motorcycles, which might deter some riders seeking agility.
  • Price Point: Positioned as a premium touring option, the price might not fit every budget, especially when considering accessories and taxes.
  • Fuel Economy: While respectable for its class, it's not as fuel-efficient as some lighter touring motorcycles, limiting range on long trips without refueling.
