by Mohan K Ramanujam · Paul Tan's Automotive NewsA hallowed name from Harley-Davidson (H-D) returns, the 2026 Harley-Davidson FXD Super Glide. Coming in a limited edition run of only 2,500 units worldwide, the limited edition Super Glide harks back to the days of the 1970s American cruiser.
Based on the original 1971 FX, the 2026 Super Glide comes with White Onyx Pearl paint and vintage tank graphics, along with styling reminiscent of the class California cruiser. Decked out in chrome, the Super Glide sports tubeless spoked wheels, mini-ape handlebars, mid-mount foot controls, and an 18.9-litre fuel tank wearing the colours of the American flag.

Power for the Super Glide comes from the Miwaukee-Eight 117 Classic V-twin, displacing 1,923 cc and producing 98 hp at 4,600 rpm with 163 Nm of torque. Mated to a six-speed Cruise Drive gearbox, the Super Glide gets chain primary drive and belt final drive along with a 10-plate wet clutch.
An analogue round gauge located on the tank shows the speedometer, with digital tachometer. Riding aids include cruise control, traction control and ABS, tyre pressure monitoring, and slip control to prevent rear wheel lock up as well as a USB Type-C charging port for the rider’s electronics.
