The All-New 2018 Harley-Davidson® Sport Glide®

Mar. 22 2024 News By Sun Harley-Davidson®

With the new year just around the corner, Harley-Davidson® released its all-new 2018 Harley-Davidson® Sport Glide®, the latest and greatest in motorcycle machines. The Sport Glide® was created for those riders who need their bike to go from cruiser to touring bike overnight. Many modern-day riders lead versatile lifestyles, with jobs in the city and an ache for the open road on the weekends. So you'll get the style you want from a cruiser and the power you need from a touring bike. You'll also get a brand new engine.




Here at Sun Harley-Davidson®, we're excited to have the Sport Glide in our showroom right now for you to view and test ride. Visit us today to see the Sport Glide and our other models. We serve the areas of Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins, Colorado.


Redesigned Softail® Frame

The Sport Glide is the latest addition to the beloved Softail® family, which means you'll get all the classic designs and advantages of a Softail®. For those who aren't as familiar, these bikes work with a distinctive Softail® hidden monoshock rear suspension to provide cleaner lines and better handling overall. They also have an awesome look and superior performance. The Sport Glide adds on to this. Along with the rear suspension, you'll get a frame that's 34% stiffer and an overall lighter bike. This means you'll have a more responsive ride that you're more in control of, no matter what turns or roads you hit. And even though it's much lighter than previous Softail models, the high-performance suspension lets you carry all the additional cargo you'll need for long trips without compromising on the quality of your ride.


Milwaukee-Eight™ Engine

New year, new bike, new engine. Harley-Davidson is powering the Sport Glide with the all-new Milwaukee-Eight™ 107 engine, a machine packed with over a century of engineering and riding experience. You'll find this electronically fuel injected V-Twin engine packs massive torque to keep you on the road and responds faster from 0-60 mph and 60-80 mph. Plus, it's fully counterbalanced, so even though it sounds like the engine is shaking the bike like there's no tomorrow, the vibration is minimized. It's also built to be sleeker and easier to fit in the slimmer Sport Glide® frame.


Touring Ready

But what does all that power and performance mean for you? It means you can slip back and forth between commuting cruiser and touring bike as often as you need. The lighter frame makes for easier maneuvering when you're cruising, but it also makes for more agile handling when you're on longer trips. The mini-fairing also keeps the harsh interstate winds off your body and make you less exhausted at the end of the day. The low-vibration Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine creates a smoother ride from start to finish to help you relax. The Sport Glide also comes equipped with hard-side locking saddlebags to store the extra cargo you'll need for a longer trip. But if you're just looking to go into town and need to shed a few pounds to make cruising easier, the saddlebags and the mini-fairing are removable, so no matter what your day holds, the Sport Glide is ready to take you there.


Technology with Style

No Harley-Davidson® bike is complete without the best gadgets and the best style. You'll get the most up-to-date motorcycle technology, including the LED forward-lighting system and keyless ignition. And though all Harley-Davidson bikes are customizable, the Sport Glide gets you started with blacked out Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, blacked out mufflers, and Mantis cast aluminum wheels.


The Sport Glide® is the latest iconic motorcycle from Harley-Davidson® and it's prepared to handle your diverse lifestyle. Whether you need to get to work or to hit the open road, the Sport Glide is built to take all of it. Here at Sun Harley-Davidson®, we have the Sport Glide on our showroom floor and ready for you to view or take for a test ride so stop by and visit today. We proudly serve the areas of Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins, Colorado.
