RIDE REVIEW I 2024 HARLEY-DAVIDSON STREET GLIDE AND ROAD GLIDE
2024 Harley-Davidson
CVO Road Glide ST
mance cam, and a larger
58mm throttle body, among
other tricks, translate into
12 more horsepower and
an additional six lb-ft of
torque. The VVT (Variable
Valve Timing) system has
been removed for the sake
of weight and improving
peak power.
The CVO ST is also fit-
ted with Screamin' Eagle
Extreme Flow Titanium
slip-on mufflers, and ride
modes (Rain, Sport, Track
and Track+) have been
updated to suit the ST's
unique needs. Track mode
gives you smooth throttle
roll-on performance while
disabling rear-to-front
linked braking. There
is also Track+, which
provides you with the least
amount of ABS interven-
tion, the least amount of
traction control, and the
least amount of linked
braking (but the most
amount of fun if your name
is Rispoli or Wyman).
The CVO ST's suspen-
sion is fully adjustable,
including a stout 47mm
Showa fork and dual
remote-reservoir shocks.
Perhaps the most criti-
cal piece of the puzzle is
the CVO ST's brakes, which
have the unenviable task
of slowing down the speed
of this powerful and heavy
machine. It's been fitted
with four-piston Brembos
that grab dual wave-type
320mm rotors up front.

nd then you have
the Harley-David-
son CVO Road Glide
ST! If you like the idea of
touring the backroads of
America on either H-D's
Street or Road Glides but
still want to keep the pace
moving when the twisties
arrive, Harley has the bike
for you.
The CVO Road Glide ST
is the performance—okay,
high-performance—ver-
sion of the new Road
Glide. It's the foundation
for the race bikes that
Harley-Davidson's factory
racer James Rispoli and
Team Saddlemen's Travis
Wyman now compete on in
MotoAmerica's King of the
Baggers Championship.
The new Harley-David-
son CVO Road Glide ST
(Sport Touring) features all
the updates that the new
"standard" Road Glide
received but with several
high-performance-minded
updates, most notably, the
ST's power unit.
The ST is fitted with
Harley's CVO Milwaukee-
Eight 121 High Output
(1977cc) engine, which has
been significantly retuned
for speed compared to the
company's Milwaukee-
Eight VVT 121 engine on
which it is based. Intake
mods, a higher-perfor-
The new CVO Road
Glide ST feels right
at home on the
track. Sounds
funny saying that.
