Just announced, Harley-Davidson is offering a 2025 CVO Road Glide RR model. This short production run of 131 hand-assembled, serialized bikes will be available only in the U.S. through select Harley-Davidson dealers. Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operation (CVO) models always showcase the model year’s most detailed and powerfully equipped motorcycles, but this one is extra special.
We previously mentioned the four CVOs in the 2025 Harley-Davidson lineup, including the impressive CVO Road Glide ST. With this new limited-edition bike, the Milwaukee-based brand has raised the bar so high that it’s almost out of sight, including its lofty $110,000 retail price.
Why Harley-Davidson built the CVO Road Glide RR
The CVO Road Glide RR is the epitome of performance baggers. It is the most powerful production motorcycle the company has ever offered in its 122-year history. Harley has recently been highlighting the Harley-Davidson Factory Racing Team’s success in the MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series, and the CVO Road Glide RR incorporates many elements of the Racing Team’s success.
Harley-Davidson CEO, Chairman, and President Jochen Zeitz said, “Taking inspiration from the track and onto the street, the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR is truly the ultimate in performance.
“With this limited series of motorcycles, we’ve taken all the lessons from the track and created the pinnacle of street-legal bagger performance,” Zeitz continued.
Significant features of the CVO Road Glide RR
The list of the CVO Road Glide RR’s custom appearance and high-performance components reflects both the company’s evident pride in the presentation and the price tag.
The Screamin’ Eagle 141 V-Twin Milwaukee-Eight engine produces 153 maximum horsepower at 5750 RPM and 150 lb-ft of torque at 4750 RPM. The engine includes Screamin’ Eagle Stage IV components to continue full torque to the 6500 RPM redline. This engine is not available in any other Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
The front suspension of the CVO Road Glide RR was co-developed by Harley-Davidson Factory Racing and Öhlins. The bike’s ride height is raised two inches to increase the lean angle to 36 degrees right and 35 degrees left, an increase of three degrees more on each side than the CVO Road Glide ST. The RR also incorporates premium Brembo braking components.
Among other weight control measures, the CVO Road Glide RR makes ample use of lightweight carbon fiber body components and billet aluminum to cut the weight to 750 pounds, 50 pounds less than the CVO Road Glide ST. The lighter weight helps performance, braking and handling, and fuel consumption.
Harley-Davidson’s intention to make the CVO Road Glide RR a new benchmark for performance baggers extends to rider safety enhancements, extensive ride modes, performance ergonomics, and audio. It will be interesting to see if subsequent model years bring more beyond-CVO ultimate limited-edition motorcycles.
