Harley Davidson Street GlideSpecial (2018)

The 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special is a masterclass in dark, aggressive style.

Its powerful Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine is the heartbeat of this touring machine, delivering raw power and torque that will leave you breathless on the open road. The sleek, stretched lines of its long, low profile are accentuated by blacked-out finishes that stretch from headlight to exhaust, giving it a menacing presence on the highway.

Behind the handlebars, you’ll find a premium audio system featuring Stage I BOOM! speakers, ensuring you’re never without your favorite tunes. But this bike is about more than just style – its advanced suspension and braking technology make for a smoother, more comfortable ride, whether you’re carving up twisties or cruising down the highway.

At its core, the Street Glide Special is a touring machine that combines long-haul comfort with unruly power and stripped-down bagger style. And when you fire up its Milwaukee-Eight engine, you’ll know that this bike is ready to unleash your soul on the open road.
