For 2015, Harley-Davidson offers the CVO Road Glide Ultra as a touring motorcycle with 1804 cc on tap. The 2015 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Ultra is built around a Four stroke, Twin Cam 110° Valves Pushrod-operated, overhead valves with hydraulic, self-adjusting lifters; two valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 9.15:1. Out on the road, the CVO Road Glide Ultra delivers 156 Nm @ 3750 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra tips the scales at 427.7 kg, carries a 22.7-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of Laden 693 mm and spans a 1630 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 103.6 kg heavier than the average touring motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2015 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Ultra spec sheet below.
2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
📏
Accessible seat height: At just Laden 693 mm, flat-footing at a stop is easy for most riders - a genuine confidence builder for less experienced owners.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: With a 22.7-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.
-
⚙️
Low-maintenance final drive: Belt final drive is about as close to maintenance-free as motorcycle drivetrains get.
Considerations
-
ℹ️
Age-related wear: No particular mechanical concern flags for the CVO Road Glide Ultra - condition on any used example comes down to how well it's been looked after.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Heat management in traffic
Air cooling on the CVO Road Glide Ultra keeps the mechanical layout simple, but heat management in slow traffic needs more attention than on a liquid-cooled bike - plan routes and gear accordingly in warmer conditions.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the CVO Road Glide Ultra comes from Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI). Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Brake disc and pad wear
2 x 292 mm disc, 4 piston caliper up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by 41.3 mm telescopic, cartridge-style damping up front and Short, air-adjustable shock at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Belt final drive keeps day-to-day maintenance minimal on the CVO Road Glide Ultra - just periodic tension and wear checks rather than the regular cleaning a chain demands.
Frame & chassis check
The Mild steel, square-section backbone with twin downtubes chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The CVO Road Glide Ultra's 427.7 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.
CVO Road Glide Ultra - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2015 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Ultra should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept CVO Road Glide Ultra settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a CVO Road Glide Ultra's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the CVO Road Glide Ultra's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
