Harley-Davidson revives the Super Glide with limited-edition model

Harley-Davidson announced the return of the Super Glide, a limited-edition model, with styling based on the 1971 FX Super Glide, and a production limit of just 2,500 serialized units.

The 2026 Super Glide Special Edition celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States. The 1971 Super Glide, styled by Willie G. Davidson, combined the Big Twin FL chassis with the narrow XL Sportster fork. It was painted white with red and blue striping and a stretched Bar & Shield graphic on the tank. The 2026 edition honors the 1971 model with similar paint and graphics.

The 2026 Super Glide will be offered only in the U.S. and Canada with an MSRP of $15,999.
