The Road Glide Ultra is powered by an awesome Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 engine. This bike is as beautiful as it is mean and offers a whole variety of desirable options for the discerning biker. With the likes of an Anti-Lock Braking System, cruise control, radio and a high-tech security system all included as standard features on this bike, it certainly makes for a complete package. This bike will sell for between $25,699 and $26,999 depending on the color option that purchasers opt for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Revival of Touring Motorbikes:** The return of the Harley-Davidson Road Glide series indicates a growing interest in high-performance touring bikes. - **Integration of Advanced Features:** The inclusion of standard features such as Anti-Lock Braking System, cruise control, radio, and high-tech security system presents opportunities for other motorbike manufacturers to integrate similar advanced features into their models. - **Demand for Customizable Biking Experience:** The availability of a variety of desirable options for the Road Glide Ultra shows a trend towards customizable touring motorbikes, opening up opportunities for businesses in the customization and personalization industries. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Motorcycle manufacturers can take advantage of the growing demand for high-performance touring motorbikes by introducing their own models that cater to this niche market. - **Automotive Technology:** Companies specializing in automotive technology can explore partnerships or collaborations with motorcycle manufacturers to develop and integrate advanced features like Anti-Lock Braking System and high-tech security systems into motorcycles. - **Motorcycle Accessories and Customization:** The demand for customizable touring motorbikes creates opportunities for businesses in the motorcycle accessories and customization industry to offer a wide range of options for bikers to personalize their rides. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Worldly Touring Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multistrada-v4-s-grand-tour.md) - [168 HP Cruiser Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati.md) - [Aggressive Adventurer Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triumph-tiger-900-adventure-motorcycle.md) - [Ultra-Agile Performance Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-r-1300-r-roadster.md) - [Electric Luxury Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experia-green-tourer.md) - [Hardcore Track Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-m-1000-rr.md) - [Riproaring Sport Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-sport-motorbikes.md) - [High-End Titanium Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ccm.md) - [High-End Touring Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-titanium-touring-bicycle.md)
