The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is produced with components and materials chosen for performance precision and controlled handling in competitive environments. This model incorporates carbon fiber bodywork, billet aluminum structural parts, and a titanium exhaust system. Each element serves a functional purpose focused on reducing weight, improving airflow, strengthening the chassis, and supporting the high output of the Screamin’ Eagle® powertrain. The motorcycle reflects development practices used in track environments while remaining compliant for street operation. Its construction emphasizes stability, power consistency, and structural integrity throughout high-load applications.
High Output Powertrain Structure
The Screamin’ Eagle® 131 Milwaukee-Eight® engine is engineered for significant output through CNC ported heads, strengthened internal components, and a camshaft designed for increased lift and duration. These features support the recorded 153 horsepower, 150 foot-pounds of torque, and a 6500 RPM redline. The cam profile manages valve timing for improved cylinder filling across the power range. The CNC ported heads contribute to consistent airflow characteristics and combustion stability. Internal components are fitted to maintain tolerances at elevated temperatures and sustained RPM levels, supporting reliability during aggressive riding demands.
The Racing King 6 transmission complements the powertrain with reinforced gears and shafts treated through shot peening to increase material strength. The transmission uses back-cut shift dogs that lock gears securely under acceleration and deceleration. This construction improves the consistency of gear engagement when the motorcycle is subjected to stress that exceeds ordinary riding conditions. Gear teeth profiles and engagement geometry are designed to maintain smooth shift transitions even when the engine is producing its maximum output.
The intake system uses a 68-millimeter throttle body that allows increased airflow at higher engine speeds. The aluminum intake manifold is machined to ensure reduced weight and balanced flow distribution to each cylinder. The Screamin’ Eagle® High Flow air filter is washable and engineered to support unrestricted airflow. These combined features produce a steady intake path that reduces turbulence and supports consistent throttle response.
The Akrapovic full titanium exhaust system is designed to reduce overall weight, improve exhaust flow, and withstand repeated heat cycles. Titanium construction helps the system shed more than ten pounds when compared to a standard Milwaukee-Eight® exhaust configuration. The carbon fiber shielding provides thermal protection while keeping the visual profile compact. The system supports emissions compliance in all fifty states without compromising its performance characteristics.
Chassis Geometry and Structural Components
Handling precision is achieved through a combination of suspension tuning, wheel construction, braking components, and reduced unsprung weight. The motorcycle uses a billet aluminum swingarm that begins as a 220-pound block of 6061 aluminum before being machined to approximately 18 pounds. This reduction in material mass reduces unsprung weight and allows the suspension system to react more efficiently to changing road conditions. The swingarm maintains structural rigidity that supports the forces applied through acceleration, cornering, and uneven surfaces.
The Öhlins suspension system includes 43-millimeter FGR inverted front forks that provide adjustable settings for compression, rebound, and preload. The rear suspension uses dual Screamin’ Eagle® Öhlins remote reservoir shocks that allow additional fine tuning. The ride height is increased by two inches to provide expanded lean angles and greater cornering capability. This suspension configuration is designed to maintain consistent damping response across a broad range of speeds and surface conditions. The construction of both front and rear units supports precise front-end feedback and improved chassis stability.
The braking system uses Brembo® GP4 RX CNC calipers with four 32-millimeter pistons that apply strong and consistent pressure to the 320-millimeter T Drive front rotors. The rear system includes a four-piston Brembo® caliper matched to a 300-millimeter rotor. These components are engineered to maintain braking stability under repeated heavy use. The rotor design manages heat dissipation and retains structural alignment during extended high-load braking.
Mid controls machined from billet aluminum replace traditional footboards to increase lean angle potential. This design improves rider control during high-speed direction changes by positioning the feet closer to the motorcycle’s center of gravity. The controls provide predictable shifting and braking input without flex. The carbon fiber solo seat developed with Saddlemen® includes a pommel and a rear bolster. These features position the rider one inch higher and help maintain rider placement during acceleration and braking forces. The carbon fiber seat shell contributes to reduced mass in the upper section of the motorcycle.
Cast aluminum wheels finished in gloss black are designed to minimize rotational weight and contribute to suspension responsiveness. The reduced mass improves turning transitions and braking stability. A laser-etched CVO™ RR logo is applied to the front wheel to signify the specific model identity.
Electronic Systems and Rider Configurations
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR includes nine selectable ride modes. Track Mode is developed with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing rider Kyle Wyman and is tuned for throttle response, braking behavior, traction control intervention levels, and engine braking characteristics suitable for controlled track environments. Track Plus Mode reduces intervention from rider aids to allow more direct input from experienced riders. Both modes adjust electronic responses through onboard sensors and control modules. The remaining ride modes support varied riding conditions through adjustable power delivery and stability control parameters.
The Skyline™ operating system manages the display and infotainment functions through a 12.3-inch touchscreen. This display is engineered for visibility in different lighting conditions and offers wireless Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth® connectivity, onboard navigation, and over-the-air update capability. The interface is designed for intuitive operation without excessive menu layering. System architecture supports fast processing to maintain stable navigation and audio functions.
The Rockford Fosgate® Stage III audio system generates 500 watts of output through 6.5-inch three-way fairing speakers. The system maintains clarity during higher speeds and is designed for durability during long-term vibration exposure. The audio configuration reflects engineering intended to match the motorcycle’s performance orientation with high-output acoustic capability.
Signature LED lighting improves visibility through integrated front and rear assemblies that follow the motorcycle’s aerodynamic profile. The lighting system is engineered for consistent illumination while reducing power draw.
Rider Safety and Stability Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR includes a complete suite of rider safety enhancements that manage traction, braking, and stability during various conditions. The Anti-Lock Brake System prevents wheel lock during straight-line braking. The Electronic Linked Braking system applies appropriate brake pressure distribution between front and rear units when the rider applies either control input. Cornering Enhanced versions of these systems use lean angle sensors to adjust brake application to maintain stability during turns.
The Traction Control System manages rear wheel spin by reducing engine torque as needed. The Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System adjusts intervention based on lean angle to maintain rear wheel stability. The Drag Torque Slip Control System limits excessive rear wheel slip created by sudden downshifts or abrupt throttle closures. The Cornering Enhanced version of this system includes lean angle input for additional precision.
Vehicle Hold Control secures the motorcycle temporarily on inclines when the rider releases the brake lever or pedal. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides alerts when tire pressure is outside optimal ranges and helps maintain consistent handling and tire longevity.
