CVO Tri Glide

2020 Harley-Davidson CVO Tri Glide Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle platform, the 2020 Harley-Davidson CVO Tri Glide pairs a 1917.4 cc (117 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 105 HP (76.6 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 169.5 Nm (125 lb-ft) at 3,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 54.8 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (3,750 rpm) and peak power (5,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the CVO Tri Glide measures 575.6 kg (1269 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.48 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 658 mm (25.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,670 mm (65.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.88 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 386 km (240 miles) between fill-ups.
