Continue reading this article to learn everything about the 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST and the changes made in the 2024 year model.

Harley Davidson has always outshined its competitors when it comes to revolutionizing the baggers arena. Besides producing the most popular baggers and touring bikes that capture most of the U.S. market, Harley-Davidson has also made a huge mark in the performance baggers department.

To celebrate its contribution and success in the King of the Baggers racing championship and the completion of 25 years of Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) lineup, the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST is inspired by the King of the Baggers. The upgrades and styling hint towards its track-ready build and performance.

The all-new 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST is the most powerful Harley ever made which is tuned to produce superior power figures. The figures are claimed to be the highest, ever produced by a factory-made Harley bike.

One notable upgrade is the use of carbon fiber to build multiple parts, including the front fender, tail cowl, gas tank console, and exhaust end caps. This innovation has helped bring the weight figures down substantially to ensure performance benefits.

Other than that, the suspension and braking technology has also been upgraded to maximize the CVO Road Glide ST’s race track performance. The electronics, including the new infotainment system, have been modernized to enhance the rider’s experience.

This bike has also received a solo rider seat with adequate lumbar support, Screamin’ Eagle graphics on the fairing and gas tank, and frame sliders to protect the engine and other essential parts in case you drop the bike. 

For the 2024 25^th Anniversary CVO model, Harley Davidson has stunned the motorcycling community with an aggressive take on the base Road Glide ST model. The 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST is designed and prepared for track-racing performance rather than just profiling, as said by Scott Nash, H-D’s Chief Engineer.

Unlike the previous CVO models with a VVT (Variable Valve Timing) engine, the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST flaunts a Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output engine. The M-8 121 VVT power plant that powered the previous models was focused on ensuring a broader torque delivery across the rev range. Regardless of the same displacement size of 121 cu in (1,977 cc), the Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO power plant in the 2024 CVO model is termed as the “High Output” because it is designed to deliver maximum power output and high-speed performance. The rpm range is also increased with a redline limit of 5,900 rpm.

The 1,977 cc liquid-cooled Milwaukee-Eight® 121 High Output engine generates a maximum horsepower of 127 hp at 4,900 rpm and a peak torque of 196.6 Nm at 4,000 rpm.

The other most crucial integration that promises top-end horsepower delivery is its race-inspired Screamin’ Eagle Extreme Flow titanium slip-on mufflers with forged carbon fiber end caps while maintaining the exhaust sound and emission to a legal level.

The airflow has been maximized with the use of a superior air intake having a 58 mm throttle body, allowing 26% more air to enter the system for high-speed performance. The maximum advantage is achieved with the use of carbon fiber elements to keep the weight low. The other weight-saving measures taken by the company include the use of titanium mufflers. Overall, the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST is 25 lbs lighter than the H-D CVO Road Glide.

Overall, the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST is 25 lbs lighter than the H-D CVO Road Glide.

The suspension technology installed on the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST is a premium piece of equipment. However, it is designed to ensure the optimum balance between comfortable and high-speed track-oriented performance. Both suspensions, including the 47 mm Showa upside-down 1x1 front fork and the dual Showa emulsion rear shocks offer preload adjustability. The rear suspension has remote reservoirs that can be seen popping out from both sides of the rear fender.

The front suspension offers a decent 4.6 inches of wheel travel while the rear suspension only has 3 inches of wheel travel which is designed to focus more on its track-racing performance.

The H-D Road Glide has always been the most agile one in the baggers’ category. To continue with the legacy, the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide is the nimble most in the family to make sure the rider does not need to slow down while taking a sharp turn on a race circuit. The saddlebags and exhaust pipes are placed at a reasonable height to make sure the rider can confidently lean while riding on this bike.

Surprisingly, the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST has also made slow-speed maneuvering easy which was never the case with heavyweight traditional baggers.

It may be too early to predict and tell how comfortable the 2024 H-D CVO Road Glide ST is without getting to ride and feel this bike. However, from the looks, attitude, and size of it, the CVO Road Glide ST seems super comfy ergonomics-wise.

On top of being neatly stitched and premium equipment with an integrated block of lumbar support, the solo rider seat is only 26.7 inches tall. Instead of using proper ape hangers, the CVO Road Glide ST features a reasonably tall handlebar resting on top of 6-inch tall risers above the triple clamp. The grip and seat position allow riders to maintain an upright back posture and comfortable arm position. However, a rider who is below 6 feet tall may lose their grip while navigating a U-turn.

If you are trained enough to ride a heavyweight bagger at high speeds, you can also ride the CVO Road Glide ST in an aggressive riding style. The legroom on this giant bagger is spacious enough for superior comfort on long miles and everyday rides. The legroom will not make you feel awkward if you choose to ride aggressively on race tracks.

The new H-D CVO Road Glide ST is the ultimate premium category bagger with technology for both long-ride entertainment and race-inspired performance. The combination of the hi-tech infotainment system, ride entertainment package, and ride safety aids make this bike one of the most superior in the CVO domain.

Starting from the dashboard, the 2024 CVO Road Glide ST boasts a massive 12.3-inch TFT color display powered by Skyline™ OS with multiple view options. For extreme fun on long-haul tours, the sharknose fairing also carries a 500-watt Rockford Fosgate Stage II audio system with dual 6.5 inches speakers.

On the contrary, nothing is missing on the H-D CVO Road Glide ST when it comes to ride safety aids, making it one of the fully-equipped luxurious baggers in the H-D family. Thanks to the standard ABS, cornering ABS, traction control, and ride-by-wire engine management system that provide riders with a range of predefined and customizable ride modes.

Normally, you do not get to see clustered hand controls on a Harley Davidson as you find on the CVO Road Glide ST, allowing riders to effortlessly change settings and control the infotainment system.

The all-new 2024 Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide ST encompasses the most powerful power mill ever produced by Harley. Though the size is the same as the previous generation CVO models, this time the company has made several tweaks to the Milwaukee-Eight 121 engine to take the performance to the next level. The 2024 CVO ST’s engine makes 127 hp of horsepower at 4,900 rpm which is why it is referred to as a “High Output” engine by Harley.

The Harley CVO (Custom Vehicle Operation) is a separate department established by the company to use the existing Harley baggers and make them more premium and luxurious by customizing them. The CVO takes the Harley and transforms it completely using a premium custom paint job, highly modified parts, a fully-equipped infotainment system, and a comprehensive tech package. Due to being exclusive and unique, the Harley CVO models are priced higher and are only produced in limited numbers.

The 2024 Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide ST is only suitable for those riders who are trained enough to handle it. Another significant prerequisite to owning the CVO Road Glide ST is $42,999 which makes it a special bike designed only for a few top Harley bagger fans. To make it more special, the H-D CVO Road Glide ST receives the most powerful engine ever produced by the H-D and hi-tech equipment that sets it apart.
