2023 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra features a 1868 cc (114 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 100 HP (73 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 164.1 Nm (121 lb-ft) at 3,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 53.5 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (3,250 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 Tri Glide Ultra measures 563.8 kg (1243 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.64 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 688 mm (27.1 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 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 406 km (252 miles) between fill-ups.

Within MotoLibrary's Harley-Davidson archive, this model family spans 12 indexed model years from 2014 to 2025, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
