RIDE REVIEW I 2023 HARLEY-DAVIDSON CVO STREET GLIDE & ROAD GLIDE P110 The Street Glide is slightly heavier steering than the Road Glide but it's minimal. Road Glide. You won't get past the next corner. Infotainment & Electronics Easily one of the stars of the new CVO show is the gigantic 12.8-inch touchscreen TFT dash. This is the biggest production dash on the market today, and its layout and ease of use is exceptional. You've got menu buttons, cruise control, and the locator joystick on the left handlebar but once you get used to using the touchscreen with your gloves on, it's a bit of a gamechanger. Harley-Davidson's also put in a massive Rockford Fosgate Stage II audio system powered by a new four-channel, 500-watt RMS amplifier. The system includes the Stage II three-way 6.5-inch fairing speak- ers, and twin Stage II three-way 5x7-inch saddlebag speakers, but you'll have to go to the accessory catalog if you want the Stage III 6x9-inch saddlebag speakers that we had on the test. This is probably the most robust speaker system I've yet tried on a production motorcycle. It absolutely pumps and is so loud as to (almost) mitigate most wind noise distortion at 60 mph. Glove compartment is vast for storing phones and wallets.
