2023 Harley-Davidson Road Glide ST Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Harley-Davidson Road Glide ST utilizes a 1917.4 cc (117 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 172.2 Nm (127 lb-ft) at 3,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 103.5 x 114.3 mm (4.1 x 4.5 inches) with a 10.2:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Road Glide ST measures 381.9 kg (842 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 678 mm (26.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,625 mm (64 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.74 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 396 km (246 miles) between fill-ups.
