2026 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra is finally here and has caught the attention of riders around the world. This new version of Harley’s iconic three-wheeled touring machine brings fresh updates, refined features, and exciting new options for anyone who loves long-distance rides. The 2026 model is built for comfort, power, and touring performance — all wrapped up in classic Harley-Davidson style with modern touches.
Striking New Design and Features
Right away, the 2026 Tri Glide Ultra stands out with its updated look. Harley has introduced new color options and subtle graphic changes that give this trike a more modern and premium feel. While it still holds the heritage Harley look, the styling tweaks make it feel fresh and up-to-date on the road. Riders also get a strong Batwing fairing, comfortable seating for two, and plenty of storage space with integrated trunks and luggage carriers for gear on long trips.
Inside, the Boom! Box GTS infotainment system keeps you connected with Bluetooth audio, navigation options, and a clear display that helps with long highway rides. Safety enhancements like advanced braking systems and traction control are standard, giving more confidence even in tricky conditions — a big plus for touring riders.
Powerful Engine Performance
Under the seat, the 2026 Tri Glide Ultra packs a strong engine that most riders will appreciate. While the exact engine specs for the 2026 model haven’t been fully confirmed, the Tri Glide traditionally uses Harley’s Twin-Cooled™ Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine — a proven powerplant with plenty of grunt and smooth power delivery.
This engine is known for producing around 93 horsepower and 120 ft-lb of torque, which provides strong acceleration and effortless highway cruising. The six-speed transmission makes highway travel easy and comfortable, helping maintain relaxed revs even at higher speeds. A good balance of power and smoothness makes this bike ideal for longer rides with heavy loads or passengers.
Impressive Mileage for a Touring Trike
One of the big talking points with the 2026 Tri Glide is its impressive mileage for such a big touring machine. With the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine and refined tuning, average fuel economy is estimated at around 42 miles per gallon on combined city and highway riding. This level of efficiency makes it easier to go farther between fuel stops and enjoy longer cruises without frequent breaks.
While exact 2026 EPA ratings may vary by market, Harley’s continued focus on efficient power delivery means riders get both performance and respectable fuel economy — something not always easy to achieve on large three-wheelers. The six-speed Cruise Drive transmission also plays a part in keeping engine revs low and fuel use reasonable on long rides.
Comfort & Touring Capability
Touring comfort is one of the Tri Glide Ultra’s strongest features. With room for two riders, a tall windshield, and ample storage, this model is built for long distances. The seats are designed for comfort over many hours in the saddle, and the added storage capacity means you can carry luggage, helmets, and travel gear without hassle. The trike also includes rider safety enhancements like cornering ABS, traction control, and other systems that are tailored to three-wheel riding.
Price and Availability
Harley-Davidson hasn’t shared final global pricing for the 2026 Tri Glide Ultra yet, but early estimates suggest that it could start around $40,000 to $45,000 USD for base models in the U.S., with higher trims and extra touring packages costing more. Optional features like the Ultimate Touring Package add advanced gear and rider aids, but can push the price up further.
