After Harley revised its touring lineup for 2014 under the Project Rushmore, the CVO Road Glide went missing for one year. The new CVO returned with a new look for 2015, featuring better aerodynamics, fairing, new handlebars, upgraded chassis, and lots of accessories including a superb sound system. The newest generation of the luxury bagger starts at just under $40,000.
2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra
Even the most hard-headed fans of Harley had to admit that these large cruisers were due for upgrades. Thanks to Project Rushmore, the Road Glide returned after a year of absence for the 2015 model year with lots of important upgrades.
The new CVO Road Glide Ultra features a new design. The new frame-mounted fairing combines stylish menace with aerodynamic excellence, and was a big, blank canvas for the CVO styling team that devised a slashing new paint scheme to cover its flanks. Fine-tuned in a wind tunnel, the CVO Road Glide fairing has triple splitstream vents and a 13.5-inch touring windshield to virtually eliminate head buffeting. Special air deflectors under the fairing create a cooling jet stream over the legs of rider and passenger. An exclusive 1.25-inch diameter handlebar offers more pull-back and height to put the rider in an ideal long-haul posture.
The cruiser has magnificent aerodynamics
The color-matched inner fairing holds a color Touch screen Boom! Box 6.5 GT infotainment system with 3D GPS, 6.5-inch Boom! Bagger speakers with 75-watt-per channel amplification (the system has 600 watts of power in total). When the sun goes down, brilliant Dual Daymaker Reflector LED headlamps turn night almost to daylight. The influence of Project RUSHMORE includes Reflex Linked Brakes with ABS, One-Touch latches, stout 49mm forks, and a shotgun position with comfort that’s the envy of the touring world. A dual-control heated seat, Mirror Chrome Slicer Custom wheels, Premium pull-out luggage, back-lit hand control and dash switches and a high-output charging system are also standard equipment.

Boasting best-in-class aerodynamic performance, the all-new CVO Road Glide Ultra model combines a full complement of premium touring amenities with triple splitstream vents on the all-new frame-mounted fairing. Long-haul travel with style is the mission of the CVO Limited model, refreshed for 2015 with new polished chrome Slicer wheels and the Airflow Collection of accessories. The nostalgic character of the CVO Softail Deluxe model is updated with a new braking system and two-tone paint options.
The handlebars were moved closer to the rider
Harley-Davidson CVO motorcycles are customized using exclusive components and paint treatments combined with numerous items from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories. The CVO program is often used to introduce new custom components and techniques before they are offered as individual accessories.
Each Harley-Davidson CVO model is powered by a 110ci V-Twin engine, the largest-displacement Original Equipment engine offered by Harley-Davidson and only available from the factory in CVO motorcycles. The 2015 CVO Limited, CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide Ultra feature the Screamin’ Eagle Twin-Cooled Twin Cam 110 engine with a combination of air-cooled and precision liquid-cooling strategies to maintain peak performance under the most demanding loads and riding conditions.
Harley offers lots of accessories to the Road Glide
The 2015 CVO Softail Deluxe is powered by the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 V-Twin engine. All models are equipped with the Assist & Slip Clutch Pack that provides a slip feature on downshifts to reduce loading of the driveline, and hydraulic clutch actuation to reduce lever effort and maintenance. Harley-Davidson CVO models are factory-equipped with electronic cruise control, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), keyless ignition and the H-D Factory Security System, and an indoor/outdoor storage cover with the CVO logo.
That stunning CVO paint is offered in three color combinations: Abyss Blue/Crushed Sapphire, Burgundy Blaze / Typhoon Maroon, and Carbon Dust/Autumn Sunset. The MSRP is $39,649.
