2022 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Overview
For 2022, Harley-Davidson offers the Tri Glide Ultra as a touring motorcycle with 1868 cc on tap. The 2022 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra is built around a V2, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.5:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 102 x 114.3 mm. Out on the road, the Tri Glide Ultra delivers 164.1 Nm @ 3250 Revolutions of torque. In everyday use, the 2022 Tri Glide Ultra tips the scales at 563.8 kg, carries a 22.71-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 688 mm and spans a 1670 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 253.2 kg heavier than the average touring motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2022 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra spec sheet below.
2022 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra compared with other bikes in the Touring category
Measured against other bikes in the Touring category in our database (up to 656 models, one entry per model), the 2022 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra comes out as follows.
- With 563.8 kg, the Tri Glide Ultra has the 3rd heaviest wet weight of 451 bikes in the Touring category, 82% above the category average of 310.6 kg.
- Engine displacement of 1868 cc is larger than that of 630 of the other 655 bikes in the Touring category.
- Only 70 of the other 464 bikes in the Touring category have a lower seat height than the 688 mm of the Tri Glide Ultra.
- Narrowing the field to the 110 models within five model years of it, the wet weight of 563.8 kg is heavier than that of 107 of the other 109.
Versus the 2021 model
Compared with the 2021 model, seat height came down from 735 mm to 688 mm (-47 mm). Peak torque, wet weight and displacement are unchanged.
2022 Tri 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.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: The double disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.
-
🛡️
ABS fitted: With ABS on board, hard braking on a damp or gravelly surface is far less likely to end in a locked wheel.
-
📏
Accessible seat height: At just 688 mm, flat-footing at a stop is easy for most riders - a genuine confidence builder for less experienced owners.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: With a 22.71-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 Tri Glide Ultra - condition on any used example comes down to how well it's been looked after.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the Tri Glide Ultra comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Valve clearance checks
Valve clearances on Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC)-equipped engines like the Tri Glide Ultra's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.
Brake disc and pad wear
Double disc with ABS and 4 piston 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 Telescopic fork, 49mm dual bending valve up front and Hand-adjustable emulsion rear suspension 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 Tri Glide Ultra - just periodic tension and wear checks rather than the regular cleaning a chain demands.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The Tri Glide Ultra's 563.8 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.
Tri Glide Ultra - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2022 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra with its 1868 cc touring should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. This model runs belt final drive, so check belt tension and tooth wear - a cracked or glazed belt is a clear sign of neglect. Now 4 years old, this touring is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Tri Glide Ultra settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for the Tri Glide Ultra's 1868 cc v2, four-stroke - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. The sump holds 4.70 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. With a 10.5:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the Tri 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.
Valve clearance service
There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a Tri Glide Ultra's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
