In an exciting turn of events, Harley-Davidson gave hints about the arrival of the 2024 CVO Road Glide ST, hot on the heels of the news about the forthcoming 2024 CVO Pan America.
Thanks to Motorcycle.com for breaking the news about this new model expected from Harley-Davidson. It is not far away now.
This revelation is particularly thrilling for fans of the brand’s Road Glide and Street Glide models, which had been conspicuously absent from the company’s previous announcements.
Both models are slated for a triumphant return in 2024, boasting many updates inspired by their respective CVO iterations that debuted last summer.
The anticipation is palpable as we await the official unveiling of these models at Harley-Davidson’s 2024 model launch event on January 24th.
How did we come by this information?
Harley-Davidson inadvertently revealed these developments through pages published prematurely on its official websites for several international markets.
Although some of these pages have since been removed, others remain accessible, and Google still caches some.
The CVO Road Glide ST, identified by its model code FLTRXSTSE, was mentioned in connection with a new forged carbon fiber seat cowl.
This accessory also fits the 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide models, indicating their return and significant updates; the seat cowl does not fit the 2023 and older models.
What’s new in the 2024 models?
Harley-Davidson has introduced a range of forged carbon fiber accessories, each uniquely patterned and made from chopped carbon fibers infused with resin in a compression mold.
These include a front fender and tank console, available for both the Road Glide and Street Glide, with the CVO Road Glide ST coming standard with these features.
Further speculation surrounds the possibility of other models seeing displacement increases, given that the CVO Road Glide and CVO Street Glide were upgraded to the new Milwaukee-Eight VVT engine.
Listings for a Screamin’ Eagle Stage II kit suggest that the Street Glide and Road Glide could be upgraded to the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, previously exclusive to the ST, Breakout, and previous-year CVO models.
What’s more, there has been no mention of a 2024 Street Glide Special or Road Glide Special in any accessory pages, suggesting that the base models’ engine upgrade eliminates the need for the ‘Specials.’
The question is whether the base models will also come equipped with the variable valve timing system seen in the CVO models.
While images of these new models are yet to be released, color options have been hinted at, including Alpine Green for the 2024 Street Glide, which will also feature a touchscreen display.
Other confirmed colors include Vivid Black, Whiskey Fire, Red Rock, Sharkskin Blue, and Atlas Silver Metallic, with three new additions to the lineup: Copperhead, Legendary Orange, and Golden White Pearl.
As we gear up for the official launch, it’s clear that Harley-Davidson continues to push boundaries with its innovative designs and technological advancements, ensuring that the 2024 CVO Road Glide ST and its companions will set new standards in the motorcycle industry.
