2026 Harley-Davidson Super Glide: specs, gearing and calculators
The FXD name returns for 2026 as a limited run of 2,500 numbered bikes, with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic and a 19/16-inch wheel set. Every figure below links to its source, and every calculator opens with the Super Glide’s own numbers.
Know your version. The 2026 Super Glide (FXD) is a Softail-based limited edition of 2,500 bikes. It is not the rubber-mounted Dyna Super Glide sold until 2017, so older Dyna figures and parts do not carry over.

Calculators with the Super Glide’s numbers filled in
Each one opens with the published figures for the 2026 Super Glide: the Milwaukee-Eight 117’s bore and stroke, the gear ratios, belt pulleys, tyre sizes, rake and weight. Change any number to match your bike, see the formula worked through, and switch between imperial and metric.

Gearing
Super Glide gear ratios and road speed in every gear
Six speeds, a 34/46 primary chain and a 32/66 final belt. The table works the published overall ratios back to the gearbox ratios and gives road speed at three engine speeds.
| Gear | Gearbox ratio | Overall ratio | At 2,000 rpm | At 3,000 rpm | At 4,000 rpm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.337 | 9.311 | 16 mph 26 km/h | 24 mph 39 km/h | 33 mph 52 km/h |
| 2 | 2.313 | 6.454 | 23 mph 38 km/h | 35 mph 57 km/h | 47 mph 76 km/h |
| 3 | 1.718 | 4.793 | 32 mph 51 km/h | 47 mph 76 km/h | 63 mph 102 km/h |
| 4 | 1.391 | 3.882 | 39 mph 63 km/h | 59 mph 94 km/h | 78 mph 126 km/h |
| 5 | 1.185 | 3.307 | 46 mph 74 km/h | 69 mph 111 km/h | 92 mph 147 km/h |
| 6 | 1.000 | 2.790 | 54 mph 87 km/h | 81 mph 131 km/h | 109 mph 175 km/h |
In 6th: 60 mph: 2,210 rpm · 70 mph: 2,580 rpm · 80 mph: 2,950 rpm
Gearbox ratios are the published overall ratios divided by the primary (46/34) and belt (66/32) ratios. Speeds use the rear tyre's unloaded circumference (2,031 mm); under load it rolls a few percent shorter, so real rpm is slightly higher. Published overall ratios: totalmotorcycle.com.
Tyres and wheels
Stock tyre sizes
Confirm against the sidewalls on your bike and the owner’s manual, including the load index, speed rating and whether the tyre is bias (B) or radial (R).

Side by side
Super Glide vs Street Bob
The same figures for both, on the same basis.
Head-to-head · MotoWild data
- The 2026 Harley-Davidson Super Glide has the lowest seat, about 1.5 cm (0.6 in) lower than the 2026 Harley-Davidson Street Bob.
- Ready to ride, the 2026 Harley-Davidson Street Bob is the lightest here, roughly 5 kg (11 lb) less than the 2026 Harley-Davidson Super Glide. Makers weigh differently, so treat small gaps as a draw.
Seat height (laden, as published)
A range means sources disagree. Lower is easier at a stop, but weight and seat width matter too.
Weight, ready to ride
Figures as published, with their basis. Wet, kerb and full-tank weights are close but not identical, so a few kilos either way is a draw.

Versions and model years
- Harley-Davidson Super Glide: The 2026 Super Glide (FXD) is a Softail-based limited edition of 2,500 bikes. It is not the rubber-mounted Dyna Super Glide sold until 2017, so older Dyna figures and parts do not carry over.
- Harley-Davidson Street Bob: Street Bobs from 2006–2017 are Dynas with Twin Cam engines; from 2018 they are Softails with the Milwaukee-Eight (107, then 114, now the 117 Classic). Check which one you have before using these figures.
