2024 Harley Davidson Tri-Glide Ultra - Ultimate Review & Test Ride

[@MOTOBLADE]

What do you guys think of the 2024 Ultra Glide? Do you like the Road Glide 3 or the Freewheeler better? Let me know below 👇🏻

[@MarcusTurner-db5qv]

Nice video keep up the good work MOTOBLADE RG3

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@MarcusTurner-db5qv thanks! I will try to get on a Harley road glide 3 for you guys soon!

[@kdawson143]

I test rode 1 today at Bartells Harley-Davidson in LA. Coming and definitely a learn curve

[@enriqueespinoza7844]

Crap 2 wheels

[@boscodog4358]

At 74, I love my 24 tri glide. It took me about 1000mi to get to know how to handle.

[@MOTOBLADE]

That’s the thing, with more time I’m sure it would come much more naturally to me. But I only get around 30 or so miles on the ride. I really need some good time and mileage with one to be more proficient in trike handling

[@gh4121-b5n]

Like with anything Harley, it’s options, options, and did I say options? At least the 24 RGU comes with LED’s up front but I highly doubt, out back. The RG3 because of the Shark nose has LED’s up front but not out back. The Freewheeler has No LED’s. I know because we have a 23 Freewheeler that didn’t come with LED’s that we added thru Custom Dynamics. There you have an excellent choice of lights, and they all come with a lifetime warranty. We put a luggage rack on the back and there’s a brake light for that too. An excellent investment no matter your trike choice is a brake light “strobe” from Custom Dynamics that’s plug and play into the rear lights. You can set it to whatever strobe type or time length, which will go a long way in the safety dept. With that out of the way, we love our FW, and use it almost daily for short trips and maybe the odd weekender as it’s trunk(like the RG3) is somewhat limited. They’re a blast specially for those who have some physical limitations that keep them off 2 wheels. The trike is a great option to get your knees back into the breeze. For those who say they’d never get on a trike, bet them a grand that when the time comes they won’t just quit riding but will hop on a trike.

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@gh4121-b5n trikes are excellent options to keep people riding! And I rode the freewheeler (video on that soon) and loved it even more than the tri-glide. Would still take the tri-glide for touring but the freewheeler was so much lighter and more “fun” for just riding around on a little bit faster. I’m with you on the LED’s. Installed them on my Harley 1275 project bike and they make a world of difference when it comes to visibility. Didn’t do the brand you did, but similar concept.

[@lvtony22]

appreciate you answering my questions and will look out for your free wheeler review

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@lvtony22 of course! Happy to help!

[@pastorjohnculbertson661]

When they put a road glide faring on it, I'll get one. ROAD GLIDE 4!

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@pastorjohnculbertson661 I really want to try the road glide 3 but they didn’t have one there.

[@pastorjohnculbertson661]

@MOTOBLADE I tried to order one with tri glide bodywork in Texas and ftw harley said no deal.

[@Justyouraverageguy735]

I’m gonna get one asap! Amazing review dude!

[@MOTOBLADE]

Thank you so much! Glad my review could help. Have fun, be safe brother ✌🏻

[@lvtony22]

as you can tell im thinking bout buying this bike, your video was great. Last question, does it have heated grips?

[@MOTOBLADE]

I don’t believe it does, as a standard option. It is an option that can be added of course. I also test rode the freewheeler which will be in an upcoming video, and they weren’t on there either. So it’s an optional upgrade I’m pretty sure. I did heated grips on my bike myself. You just buy the grips and they usually plug directly into the handlebar controls that are pre-wired for them.

[@frankdepaul6994]

Those are communication ports, not heated gear.. As for TG vs RG3…if the RG3’s trunk was flat ( like the Street Glide trike in 09 ) I would have purchased the RG3 instead of the TG…but as a touring motorcycle, the trunk is a requirement for me. I think eventually the TG will have the option for a shark nose fairing..hope anyway

[@MOTOBLADE]

Thank you for the correction on the port identification! I like your way of thinking with a shark nose fairing on the tri glide ultra. That would be the way to go. If I get a trike a large reason is for the trunk space. So the others just don’t make sense, but I greatly prefer the look of the Road Glide 3.

[@jesusmaes6654]

Would u do a commentary on the Road Glide 3?👍🤓👽✌️

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@jesusmaes6654 I will do my best to get on one soon! Harley Demo truck didn’t bring one that day. The Road Glide 3 is what I really wanted to try in their trike lineup!

[@lvtony22]

does the stock seat come with a space to fit a drivers backrest

[@todmarmino196]

Yes it does

[@thecomputerstorewayneboss6803]

Love it love mine 113

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@thecomputerstorewayneboss6803 nice! Always love hearing from owners that love their rides!

[@tinsanis5875]

nice video i love it

[@MOTOBLADE]

Thank you!

[@earlpaul6400]

No trailer hitch. Voids the warranty

[@MOTOBLADE]

Good to know. That’s ridiculous. Harley should just include one stock. Wouldn’t deter me in the slightest from putting one on though.

[@thedepressedsigma1417]

Is this suitable for daily?

[@MOTOBLADE]

Heck yeah! Why wouldn’t it be? Need a grocery run or heading to the office? Plenty of trunk space. Carry two people easily. Don’t have to worry about stability in wet conditions- you got 3 wheels! Trikes (in my opinion) are far more practical than motorcycles, unfortunately they are also more expensive so that is a mark against them.

[@javonbrandon]

Have you seen the road glide 3 or freewheeler trike

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@javonbrandon have not seen the new road glide 3 with the 2024 update in person. The Freewheeler I filmed a review on as soon as I was done filming this Tri Glide Ultra. That video is on my list to get up in a few weeks. It’s much lighter, and less storage. More of a “fun” trike in a way, but I wouldn’t go touring with it - no fairing for the highway and not enough storage for me. Just my personal preference. I’d go tri glide ultra or rg3 for touring.

[@Atlasmehd]

the reverse is A starter motor. it is not THE starter motor. its another motor. the dashboard plug is a com port, the power outlet is on the lower right side inner fairing.

[@lvtony22]

does it have cruise control?

[@MOTOBLADE]

Yes sir it does! I believe all 3 trikes in Harley-Davidsons lineup (tri-glide, road glide 3, and freewheeler) all have cruise control.

[@lvtony22]

@@MOTOBLADE thanks and last one does the stock seat come with a space to fit a drivers backrest

[@MOTOBLADE]

@lvtony22 I don’t know for sure. Looking back at my footage it appears it does, but I just can’t remember if I checked for that or not when I did the test ride. Considering all the other touring bikes do I’d say it’s very likely.

[@gh4121-b5n]

All the Harley Trikes have the ability for a backrest, just that it’s hard to see in videos. On the model here the space between the driver and passenger there’s a slot for the backrest.

[@selfaware114]

No luggage rack no chrome bumper . 24’s aren’t woke but 25’s will be. Not going to shoot my evo or mil8 like some morons.

[@davidberry5015]

Woke Trike!

[@MOTOBLADE]

It wasn’t at the time I did the test ride and made the video. All new crap that has happened recently. The trike did nothing wrong. But going forward I won’t be buying another Harley (I own Indian and a Harley, will be moving solely to Indian when it’s time to let the Harley go).

[@davidberry5015]

@@MOTOBLADE I’m on my 6th Harley Davidson. It’s nobody who owns a bikes fault. Ride safe, I wish you well.

[@MOTOBLADE]

Exactly! I own a “pre-woke” Harley. Not trading it. - we didn’t do it. Bike didn’t do it. Good people who built the bike didn’t do it. But eventually if I upgrade, I won’t give the company my financial support. Ride safe brother! Have fun ✌🏻

[@marektee6484]

name the price of this gem- pleace. 😮

[@MOTOBLADE]

@@marektee6484 Harley-Davidson website shows the msrp for the tri glide ultra in the alpine green color like this one at $38,000 + $2,000 for this special paint scheme 😬

[@RafaelJimenez-hz9gu]

Woooooo hoooooo, Harley you gave us again the same old bike, less and less features new paint , engine and much higher price tag. Oh and that clunky old school starter motor for reverse, No thanks !

[@MOTOBLADE]

The Road Glide 3 (RG3) might be more your style then. Updated, little more modern. Still has the reverse off the starter though but it does work and I didn’t find it “clunky”. Maybe they used to be. But the reverse worked very well.
