Great video again Matt on the new 2019 Tri Glide. I am from the UK and decided to get the 2018 model Tri Glide last march after riding motorcycles for over 40 years going on your in depth review and riding demonstration of the 2018 model. Don't regret getting a Tri Glide and find it superb and the luggage capacity is excellent and feel a lot more comfortable and confident on the road

[@bobbendt1698]

We traded in our '18 Ultra Limited for a '19 TriGlide. First trip out on the TriGlide my wife and I had to ride in about 100 miles of rain all the while riding the twisties on US550 from Ouray, CO to Durango, CO. After riding the TriGlide on the wet roads I was much happier that I was on 3 wheels then 2 wheels. Sure it would be easier to handle 2 wheels on the switchbacks but this thing really rocked the mountains. Oh, and we had about 300 miles on the clock when we took this trip so it was also a break-in trip. Thanks for the great video.

[@Paintslinger49]

I owned a 2010 103 ci Triglide and now own a 2019 114ci Triglide. The difference in response and handling is by far much better on my 2019 Triglide. My wife rode the 2010 103 ci Triglide to Gettysburg, PA from St. Louis after I had Bourbeuse Valley HD install a hydraulic clutch--the manual was sloppy shifting up and down through the gears and the hydraulic clutch made that much easier for her as it is more sure to shift in and out of gears. I was glad to see it standard on our 2019 Triglide. The pickup on the highway ramps is excellent with the 114. It is a notable improvement over the 103. I am quite pleased with the purchase and my wife is also. As to an "old man"--I am 72 and still run 12 miles a week with ease. I like the Triglide on the highways as it simply is more relaxing than my other motorcycle and does provide more visibility to other drivers. My other motorcycle is a Road Glide Special which I enjoy riding as well. I would recommend test riding a Triglide on local roads and then on the freeway. To truly appreciate the difference is a good measure for you to use in deciding.

[@johneaton3609]

Matt, I enjoy your reviews of the Tri Glide. I bought a 2017 two years ago and love it more everytime I ride it. I'm 63 yrs old, I started riding two minibikes at age 9, and have more than a few decades under my belt on two wheelers. Before buying, I rented a 2017 Tri Glide for three days and took it on a trip up to the White Mountains. Having a few years on some real nice BMWs, I gotta say the first day I hated it. I decided to toss my expectations and let the Trike be what it was designed to be. The second day I warmed up to it, and on the third day I really learned to love it. Renting one is a great idea to really get the feel of what the trike is. I've seen a few customers take a short test ride, and just not like it well enough to buy one. It took me a few hundred miles before I could make that decision. Of course the Dealer applied all of my rental money to the purchase price of the Trike that I bought. It was like a free three day test ride. Thanks for the vids.

Would a trike be good for towing a little motorcycle trailer for extra gear?

[@johneaton3609]

@@jwright1776 Hi Jaden, I have never towed a trailer with any bike but I've seen many trikes towing them and they appear to be very stable. One consideration is your warranty, Harley Davidson will void your warranty if you tow with your bike/trike.

Another great video, Matt on triglides. Wife & I traded our 10 & 11 trikes on a pair of anniversary 18's. Harley has made great upgrades over the years. The traction control would be nice in the rain & running upon peagravel on the road roundin' a switchback. After both of us riding 2wheelers all our lives these Triglides are great. In the wind as we enjoy retirement.

[@momikeee1]

As a teen I ran parts for a Packard dealership on a HD 45 ci Servi Car trike with a hand shift. This was nothing but fun all day long. It was the best job in the world and I loved riding that trike around the city.

EXCELLENT video - Very helpful! Although I am 75, I still have no physical needs and can still handle my FLHTK Ultra Classic Limited, but have always been interested in the Harley Trike. It is now 2023 and I recently test drove a 2019 Harley Tri-Glide at a local dealership (After many years of 2 wheel riding). I never owned or rode a trike before, so it definitely was "different", but I actually enjoyed it - Just relax and try not to overthink it. I did end up buying the bike, will be picking it up soon and hope to have many years of trouble free, fun riding.

I really enjoy your videos, and especially this one as I have the 2018 Trike Glide and I absolutely love my bike. I'm only 36 years of age and have drive 2 wheelers for about 12 years now and I think I prefer the trike. Sure somethings I miss like the handling around the bends on a two wheel but love how much more relaxed I am on the trike, no worry about handling in the rain or if you hit lose gravel. Ideally I would like to own both two wheeler and Trike but don't think I'll be without a trike again. Thanks again for your awesome videos.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Jarett Rugg thank you. I value your comment as an owner of a tri-Glide. Thanks for weighing in.

Life is funny Matt you get a trike when your a kid and then A trike might be your last bike 😇 circle of trike ownership lol

[@blackhillsrider2626]

Just found this video and thought I would add my two cents. As a long time Harley owner and a former Tri-Glide owner here are my thoughts. I am 69 yo and have ridden motorcycles since I was 7. I owned several Ultra Classics and toured extensively on them with my wife. I had done several Posse Rides with HOG and enjoyed everything. But as I aged I found it became difficult to balance the Ultra, especially two up. So in 09 I bought a Tr-Glide.I loved it and between 09 and 2016 I logged over 120000 miles on it. Road route 66 end to end twice, across the US three times coast to coast and across Canada and any more places in between. Then in 2016 it was time to replace the trike, I was at Americade and took a test ride in a Polaris Slingshot and decided that day to trade the trike in for the Sling! Now I do NOT hate Harley, they make excellent bikes, but for 10K less I got a vehicle that will do everything the Trike did for less $$. I know a Slingshot is NOT a motorcycle I accept that, but I can get "almost" he same open air experience in the Sling as on the trike. You mentioned the Trike handles like a go-cart, well that is true, but the Slingshot handles like a Go-Cart on steroids! So to all those aging riders who still want to experience the joy of the open road, carve turns, and generally turn heads wherever you go, I would highly recommend at least taking a test drive in a Slingshot. You may be impressed.Have fun and ride safe.

[@dtelaw]

Brought my Tri Glide home yesterday. First time on a trike. This video was very helpful in explaing the Tri Glide, what to expect in the ride and the pluses of the design. I noticed several of the things you mention. Thanks.

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

Hey Matt …. always enjoy your videos … Last May (2018) (during my 70th year), on a multi-day 5-State road trip on my 2017 Street Glide, I returned home convinced it was time to buy a Trike. I had never ridden a Trike before but I purchased a 2018 HD Trike Ultra Glide with some reservations. After a short learning transition I absolutely LOVE the trike. I initially missed the out-of- the-gate torque so I added a HD Stage I Heavy Duty breather, Vance & Hines performance pipes AND the HD Stage II Torque upgrade. Problem solved !!!! Got plenty of torque, and the cam gives the motor the HD lope sound we all love about HD. Since May 2018, I have put 10,000 miles on my Trike and love it more every day !! As you said, "It is a BLAST to ride!" and despite its weight and more bulky appearance vs a two wheeler it is surprisingly quick, agile, EZ touring 70 - 75 mph all- day-long ride and it has a reverse. Finally your review of the Trike was spot- on, THANKS !

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you very much. I’m going to pin your comment because I like when actual owners give their experience and opinions. Thank you for the comment.

[@timemachinewatch]

Matt, I rode a 2017 and a 2019 this weekend there is a BIG difference you can really see after getting off the 2017 then getting on the 2019. 19 steers MUCH easier and corners way better! The 114 seems custom made for this beast. Nice and throaty pulls MUCH better, my 107 on the 17 was pinging as well. Braking better, suspension better boom much better. I will be getting a 19 or keeping my 14, we couldn't get together on that 17, the 19 is only a few thousand more. Well worth the extra for a LOT more trike! Harley has now taken the solid axle Lehman as far as it gets. One good ride on this locomotive and you'll be hooked as I was. Kudos to HD on a GREAT upgrade package!

[@triketacular8093]

Another great review Matt! We are still very happy with our 2014 Tri-Glide. Some extras l added are highway pegs, rear view mirror extensions, 3-m type invisible protection sheets to the front and top of the wheel wells, to protect from rock chips and gravel and a HD luggage rack on top of the tour pack. As l have mentioned in the past, l feel for the price of the Tri-Glide, HD should include, at least heated grips, and the luggage rack as standard equipment, like which is included with the HD Ultra Limited, which costs less than the Tri-Glide. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels.

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

Matt.... I couldn't agree more. I rode one at an HD demo event and the trike is the most enjoyable touring ride... I don't know how to explain it but it's totally relaxing, you are left to enjoy the surroundings rather than focusing on riding; it's awesome! To the naysayers, try one first at least, they coroner like a slot car! If I ever could afford 40k to go touring I'd own one of these first. To add: I really enjoy extreme cold weather riding to include sub-freezing, icy gutters, wet paint stripes, off camber wet steel grating (construction zones) etc., will never be a problem on one of these. That kind of reassuring feeling is worth a thousand words... just try one guys, and put aside any attempts at trying to look cool for a moment to appreciate the ride! That's my 2 cents👍🏽

[@geod3589]

Ken I first drove a trike when I was 26, it had a VW engine, jock shift 4-speed, springer front end. Indeed it was a blast and yes I found it more relaxing and better for touring than a 2-wheeler. I later owned many 2-wheelers, many different brands. Now that I'm a lot older a trike is probably my best option.

[@onthrottlereviews2104]

Having ridden several trike options available for HD's, I'll try and break down my thoughts on the Tri-Glide model. My first real intro was when my father, due to illness, had to stop riding on two wheels. At the time, trike kits were few and far and they were quite expensive. A decision was made to add a voyager kit to his 2002 Electra Glide Standard. The kit certainly fills a niche and gets those needing extra assistance into a more stable platform with little modifications to the motorcycle itself. The FLHT was a rough ride after adding an extra two wheels and weight and I'd never really consider the voyager kit a long term solution for someone looking to eat up highway miles. This is more for your weekend rider who just wants to maybe ride to local events and still enjoy the brotherhood of the motorcycle community, but can't do so on two wheels. From there, we upgraded to a Motor Trike kit, complete with electric shift and reverse gear. All things considered, it was a better kit, obviously involved a lot more modification to the FLHT and turned the bike into a true trike. The ride was "better" but still was a little rough around the edges. Over time, the air shocks would always leak and bottom the rear of the trike out when parked for any length of time, the reverse gear (though it didn't have the noise most of you associate with the new electronic reverse), was a true PITA to operate and for older bikes, the extra weight of these kits just really made them feel like a school bus and it tended to really hamper MPG and heat was an issue. Fast forward several years after that modification and enter into the 2016 Tri-Glide. I was the first to ride it 160 miles home from the dealership and boy what a joy it was. Compared to the other "kits", you learn a true appreciation for something that is purpose built. Everything was where it should be and it was made specific for this particular model. The Tri-Glide was a true Cadillac compared to the other kits mentioned. You also gain an appreciation for this on another level, as I'd certainly say the ride is far better than even some of your 2-wheel counterparts in their "low" versions or 12" shock configurations. The Tri-Glide is effortless in adverse weather, inspires confidence in those who would otherwise not have the ability to be on the open road and is a worthy investment for anyone who needs a machine such as the Tri-Glide. In our 2016 version, we have the 103HO motor, which I feel is lacking when you strap on the extra 300+ pounds of the trike kit... however, for those looking into the 107" or the new 114" Tri-Glide models, I think you owe it to yourself to check them out and give them a fair shake down. Though it's not two wheels, Harley has done a fantastic job at giving consumers a long term, viable solution to the growing problem many face when they can no longer stay on just two wheels. Great video review of the new Tri-Glide!!

[@MattLaidlaw]

My husband and I have ridden motorcycles for the last 15 years or so. In October we purchased a 2018 Tri Glide Ultra. It takes some getting use to with the steering. We've had some issues with the trike swerving suddenly to the left. Not a good feeling when at freeway speeds. We discovered that the rear air shocks were not holding air. By the time the dealer found the problem and replaced the air lines and mechanisms, we were getting short on good riding weather. My question is; could the lack of air in the rear shocks actually make the trike suddenly veer to the left? Its been quite unnerving and wanted to see if you had any input.

Very good Matt.excellent video..a few dealerships have closed down in Florida..Im looking for a Trike..take trips alot to Ohio and Pittsburgh..Trike would be ideal. Last trip on. a Sportster low 1200 loaded with StreetGlide bags..Black hills gold /black saffire..My back just isn't the same anymore..many rear-end accidents I've had..TRIKE IS THE BEST WAY TO GO..NICE JOB..GOOD VIDEO..

[@duoglide69]

Excellent coverage on the triglide. HD is absolutely wrong in not making a CVO model.

[@danielcarrillo4385]

So do you have to hold the reverse button down while adding throttle to go reverse...or do you just push the button and that's enough for it to be able to reverse??

[@MattLaidlaw]

You just hold the reverse button down. No throttle needed for reverse.

[@KevinTaddeo]

@matt any word on "Android Auto" getting added to these head unites via a software update? There are FAR more Android devices then Apple. Seems like a poor business decision by HD.

[@seanmarshall3132]

Ppl

[@MattLaidlaw]

Kevin Taddeo i haven’t heard any rumors about android auto being added. I think as time progresses they won’t have a choice though. Maybe in the coming years. I’m sure the current GTS system has the capability with a software upgrade.

[@lexkantoor6514]

Wh doe you newer anser peapel lex kantoor

[@CactusJack252]

It’s googles fault for not adding android auto

[@MrDealeronrocks]

Looks so comfortable man, first thing i'd do is take this to a drive-thru

[@tigers8969]

Is the reverse more powerful than in the past? Road one long ago and it would not pull the front tire out of a pot hole ( shallow)

[@northerniltree]

The With A Special Back Rest model is the FLHTCUTGWASBR. Check it out!

[@bobjustbob5220]

I love all the straight line driving, give us some curves, real time, sucks real bad cornering!

[@danbgt]

Old video so I may not get an answer but I’ll ask anyway. Now that the 114 M8 Tri Glide has been out for a year, has there been any inherent problems? I ask because I have a 2006 Goldwing/DFT trike that has just turned 129,000 miles. I am looking to replace it soon. Not a fan of the new GL1800 so may go to the dark side. (LOL)

[@christiaanlunney9805]

Are they going to making a Roadglide trike ?

[@kevinalthage9826]

Matt is there a chance that I could speak to you on the phone regarding the HD Tri -Glide? Thanks for your time and info here.

[@gusrivas3682]

Hi guys questions, in the Trike do we have one-wheel drive or two? Sorry for my ignorance....

[@lostsiouxlhr984]

mat as a rider who cant ride 2 weels any more doto bad lungs and loss of strangth in my hands would you say this would be a good investment to keep me on the road and in the wind ??

[@parimalaselvanvelayutham3941]

Whether available in India?

[@kevinkeys1383]

Matt Ladlaw, how is it for tall guys I mean that 6 ft 08 inches tall and am loosing weight, but back injuries.

[@stubblehunter1]

Superb video Matt! I am waiting on delivery of mine in the UK. Just one question... the other rider who was test driving the trike.. I noticed a green flashing light in the centre of the speedo. Its probably something obvious but at this moment I can't think what it is. Its around 24 mins and 14 secs in ok

[@MattLaidlaw]

Was it the cruise control light? It shows flashing because of the camera frame rate but it probably isn’t flashing in person

[@stubblehunter1]

@@MattLaidlaw Thanks Matt! I should have twigged cruise control. I will figure out how to switch it on when the trike finally arrives. Gonna be a long wait I suspect.

[@1armedguy4]

Hi Matt ! My question Matt have you come across any want to be trike enthusiasts that were two wheeled motorcyclist for many years like myself and because off life altering physical changes such as in my case losing my right arm. I guess the question to you is can you see a bike such as the tri- glide ultra being fitted with a auto trans and the throttle switched to the left handle bar position. Knowing that this would be all custom with aftermarket parts I assume, At the time of my snowmobile accident I had a new quad in my garage so that was quite simple to alter and it kept me riding be it off-road. I would like your thoughts on this idea that I can't seem too shake, I just want the feeling of the open road again. Thanks !

[@omarbetancourtrios5873]

I have never Drive a motorcycle (two or three wheels). I am 68 yrs old, retired and I always dream to have one and Drive one to touring long distance through the Country. My question is there are schools to teaching how to drive, maintain and license to drive them? What are the requirements by local or state low? What physical condition the person must have?. What is the cost of the enrollment for he total cost?

[@hunterlaroe5037]

Big question for you mr. Laidlaw. Planning to get the 19 street glide but can i pair my samsung to it to play music?? Or is strictly iphone?

[@TH3G0ODGUY]

you can pair almost any smart phone, android or iphone, and play music via bluetooth, and even program autoresponse texts. But if you want to use apple car play then you must have an iphone.

[@MattLaidlaw]

What Nick said.

[@MrXo]

No Google play bro. :(

[@h3r63rt]

Who else thinks that red freewheeler ( at 10:49 ) without rear fenders looks bad a**? Just needs a seat

[@MattLaidlaw]

Haha. A naked trike.

[@KingOfAllBlunders]

Just signed up for the Harley academy but first spot isn’t until Oct. Gives me more time to research but as of right now my first bike might be this one. Thanks for the detailed vid!

[@jerryhurst396]

Great video Matt, I have been waiting for your video and review on this. I did order one in Scorched Orange.

[@martinneps9387]

I was from my knee down accident on my left side shifting I need to know if they make an automatic 3 Wheeler with a reverse please comment back thank you I wanna get back to Riding

[@johnready630]

I believe there is an electric controlled shifter with the control by the left controls . It's a solonoid that will kick the shifts up or down . I think it's aftermarket.

[@martinneps9387]

@@johnready630 OK I will have to check that out

[@willymiranda5537]

Impressive Matt / thanks for ur attention to detail on description & running details/ dampner on front end / adjustments to rear shocks / how too / storage space / music/ just love it all. Thanks MATT⁉️WILLY CA 😎👍🙏👍🌎🇺🇸☠️⚡️🔥🌹

[@joethrift1926]

Question for Matt or anyone else. Would there be an advantage or disadvantage to the shark nose on a trike?

[@onthrottlereviews2104]

Since I own a 2018 RGS and family has a 2016 Tri-Glide, I'd say about the only advantage in my opinion is lighter steering. The steering dampening on the Tri-Glide works extremely well to balance the front end and eliminate the wind buffeting found on the two wheel batwing models.

[@crazyelf8433]

I'm looking for a *"H/D Servi-car!" any year!* Can y'all please let me know!

[@MrAndrew1953]

Very impressed with this trike. Reverse gear? Does it come with a reversing camera? In some ways it’s like a sports car with handlebars.

[@MattLaidlaw]

No reverse camera. Just the reverse gear.

[@alenaniznanska5228]

Thanks for the review Matt. Love watching your videos. In 2015 my husband and I purchased a new 2014 Triglide. We live overseas so please let me advise your viewers that HD's for export only are not built with the same specs as those sold in the USA. Who would ever think a triglide would come without a headlight? Plus, there are no maps for the navigation system in the country where we are living. When you pay almost twice the USA price for a trike you would think it would be built to the same specs. There are no reviews for HD sold in Asia.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Yes, I’ve heard this. I’ve seen that model with no headlight as well. They have some crazy regulations overseas

[@adriennebyrne8237]

Can you do a video with a passenger on the trike thanks

[@jamessouthworth1699]

I just don't understand why the trikes cost as much as a car.

[@geod3589]

Me neither. My loaded Tacoma was far less than a TriGlide

[@jamesmenard2961]

Cost of production in relation to volume produced. Margins must be great in order to be profitable.

[@Scott-q8b]

Yep what he says it is a fun bike mine rides like a lumber wagon but i love thats part of the thrill of riding whether it be a trike or motorcycle feel the ride lovin every minute of it

[@MattLaidlaw]

Haha. Thanks for the comment. Always like owners of the bikes/trikes to comment.

[@charlesblount6858]

Thanks Matt for this excellent video. I always wondered about some things and maybe having to switch over in the not so distant future. This made me more comfortable with that idea. Keep them coming Matt. You are doing a great service for Harley Davidson and its lifeblood.

[@kennethreynolds8]

Great review as always Matt, if my wife wins out we will be on a trike as our next ride.

[@poppawheelie2]

SO why does the 2019 steer easier and turn better? Was the front end trail/steering head changed?

[@thomasangelo4219]

That beautiful motorcycles I had one in the first model year really takes a lot of getting used to ride e-trike traded in a year later take care of thanks for the video

[@takuanippai2854]

Dude , how mush is it? I'd like to buy one.

[@Firestorm637]

I wish Harley would get into electronic suspension like you see in some other premium touring/cruiser. Nice to push a button for number of passengers and bags. Then push a button for touring, street, and sports. The computer makes hundreds of calculations per second for rebound and compression. Nice finally traction control. Harley so close to Stability control and IMU which would really help a trike. Stability control mandated in cars beginning 2012. Love the trike!

[@Firestorm637]

Stability was mandated in SUV/trucks cuz so many rollovers with high center of gravity vehicles. Stability control helps, in an emergency, if drivers inputs have too much oversteer or understeer which would cause a rollover. This tech would help the safety of the trike with older riders.

[@Firestorm637]

Actually watching the tech explain things, it sounds like it has stability control as it does have an IMU which monitors pitch, roll, and yaw and can control throttle control of torque as well as TC. And ABS. Wonder way he did not just say motorcycle Stability control with 6 axis IMU. Stability control is offered in all high end KTM, Ducati, and BMW usually by Bosch MSC 9.1.
