Harley-Davidson has expanded its premium motorcycle lineup in India with the launch of the CVO Street Glide, a model created for riders who want the very best the brand can offer. Priced at Rs 63.03 lakh (ex-showroom), it sits below the CVO Road Glide but still carries all the exclusivity, craftsmanship, and performance that the CVO badge represents.
A Flagship Touring Machine with Serious Power
At the heart of the CVO Street Glide sits Harley-Davidson’s 121CI (1,982cc) V-Twin engine, a larger and more advanced unit than the one used in the standard model. This motor produces 115hp and a strong 189Nm of torque, delivered at low revs for effortless acceleration. A 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch manages power delivery, making the bike more manageable despite its size.
Premium Hardware and Enhanced Ride Quality
Although the CVO shares its frame with the regular Street Glide, Harley-Davidson has equipped it with higher-spec components to match its premium status. The front end gets Brembo radial 4-piston calipers, and the rear suspension can be adjusted for preload through a convenient remote adjuster. These upgrades aim to improve control and stability, especially during long-distance touring.
Crafted with Exceptional Detail
One of the biggest reasons riders choose a CVO model is the unmatched attention to detail. The CVO Street Glide showcases deep, multi-layered paintwork, lighter aluminium wheels, and numerous colour-matched and billet-finished components across the body. Every touchpoint—from the controls to the rider’s view of the cockpit—features a noticeably higher level of finish than the standard motorcycle.
Buyers also get a choice of three colours and two finish options. The chrome finish is paired with a single colour, while the blacked-out variant gives buyers two colour choices.
Feature-Rich Touring Setup
Since this motorcycle is built for long hauls, Harley-Davidson has loaded it with premium touring features. A massive 12.3-inch TFT display, a built-in music system integrated into the batwing fairing and saddlebags, and a wide range of electronic assists make the experience more refined.
The rider benefits from ABS, traction control, hill-hold control, cruise control, and support from an IMU-based system that adjusts electronic responses depending on real-time riding conditions.
Despite being a large machine with a kerb weight of 380kg, the bike is made more manageable by a low 680mm seat height and a ground clearance of 140mm, which helps it deal with typical Indian road scenarios better than expected. The 22.7-litre fuel tank further reinforces its touring credentials.

Positioned as a Halo Product
At Rs 63.03 lakh, the CVO Street Glide ranks as the second most expensive Harley-Davidson in India. It is designed as an aspirational model rather than a mass-market product, appealing to riders who want a luxurious long-distance tourer with unmistakable Harley character.
In terms of rivals, buyers may also consider the Honda Gold Wing GL1800 or the BMW R 18 Transcontinental, both strong competitors in the high-end touring segment. And of course, those looking for a different riding stance or styling can look at its sibling, the CVO Road Glide.
Final Thoughts
The Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide delivers a blend of powerful performance, premium craftsmanship, and long-distance comfort. With its upgraded engine, refined components, and extensive list of touring features, it stands out as a flagship model built for riders who want a truly exclusive and deeply detailed motorcycle. While its price puts it firmly in the luxury category, the overall experience is designed to justify that positioning for those seeking the ultimate Harley touring machine.
