Lawless Harley-Davidson® - What to Know About the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra brings long-haul touring confidence to riders who want the feel of a grand American V-Twin with the planted stability of three wheels. From its commanding stance and generous storage to a smartly integrated infotainment system, this trike is built for road trips, weekend getaways, and everyday adventures. It blends classic Harley-Davidson® attitude with thoughtful technology that makes miles easier, especially when luggage and a passenger are along for the ride.
At Lawless Harley-Davidson® in Scott City, MO, we see the Tri Glide® Ultra appeal to a wide range of riders—seasoned touring enthusiasts, returning riders who value stability at stops, and new riders who want the Harley-Davidson® touring experience without the learning curve of a heavy two-wheeler. If you’re looking for a go-anywhere machine that feels substantial, comfortable, and reassuring in slow-speed maneuvers and parking lots, this is your three-wheeled ticket to freedom.
- Powertrain: The Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin delivers smooth, confident torque that handles hills, interstates, and full touring loads with ease.
- Wind Management: A full Batwing fairing with split-stream vents and lowers helps reduce buffeting and channels airflow for rider and passenger comfort.
- Storage: An integrated trunk pairs with a King Tour-Pak luggage carrier so you can pack bulky gear, helmets, and layers without compromise.
- Infotainment: A bright 6.5-inch touchscreen brings navigation, Bluetooth® audio, and convenient control of rider safety features into easy reach.
- Reverse Assist: Electric reverse takes the stress out of sloped or tight parking spots—tap the button, guide the bars, and back out with confidence.
- Style Choices: Choose classic chrome or a bold blacked-out look, plus premium factory paint options that stand out in any parking lot.
Design is where the Tri Glide® Ultra makes its first impression. The wide front fairing, tall windscreen, and wrapped engine bar create a purposeful touring silhouette, while cast wheels and black or chrome finishes let you lean classic or contemporary. Premium paint options—including eye-catching color-shifting choices—elevate the trike’s presence whether you’re rolling down Main Street or pulling into a national park.
On the road, the Tri Glide® Ultra feels composed and predictable. The planted rear end adds straight-line stability and removes the need to put a foot down at stops. Suspension is tuned for touring, and a simple preload adjustment helps you dial in comfort as loads change. Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements work in the background to support traction and braking, and four speakers bring a rich soundtrack to your ride. When it’s time to park, electric reverse simplifies the final move.
- Fit and Ergonomics: Sit on the trike to confirm reach to the bars, seat comfort, and passenger accommodations for your typical mileage.
- Tech Setup: Pair your phone, load a route, and explore the touchscreen’s navigation and audio before you head out.
- Load Simulation: Add a passenger or some luggage and adjust preload to feel the trike in real-world touring conditions.
- Route Variety: Include city streets, a stretch of highway, and a few rolling hills to sample throttle response and stability.
- Parking Practice: Use electric reverse in a safe space to get comfortable backing up and maneuvering at walking pace.
- Accessory Planning: Consider windscreen height, seats, communications, and lighting so the trike fits your riding year-round.
