The Sport Glide is the ultimate answer to your requests for a more versatile bike, something that looks and rolls like a cruiser with the power and performance to handle touring adventures as well. This new bike gets a new look, new features, and a brand new engine, that we’re more than a little excited to show you. Not only will you be able to use this bike for whatever your day requires of it, but you’ll look awesome behind the throttle. None of that clunky, grandpa look. Here at Toad Suck Harley-Davidson, we have the Sport Glide ready for you to view and even test ride so come visit us today. We’re located at Conway, Arkansas, proudly serving the areas of Russellville, Hot Spring, and Fort Smith, AR.

Redesigned Softail Frame

The Sport Glide is part of the class Softail family and it gives the Softail frame a little bit of an upgrade. All Softail enthusiasts will tell you the best part about owning one of these bikes is its superior look and performance. They run on a distinctive hidden monoshock rear suspension to provide clean lines and better handling. The Sport Glide takes this exceptionalism and adds a few more bonuses. This Softail frame is 34% stiffer and much, much lighter. For the rider, this means you’ll get a better, more controllable ride with faster response that handles harder lines and sharper corners. Plus, we’ve included high performance suspension, so even though it’s one of Harley-Davidson’s lightweight contenders, you’ll still be able to carry along all your extra touring cargo without messing with how smooth your ride is.

Milwaukee-Eight Engine

A new day, a new bike, and a new engine. The Sport Glide comes with our all-new Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, the product of over a century of innovative and riding experience. The power you get from the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine gives you incredible torque so you stay locked to the pavement while you’re shredding it. It’s an electronically fuel injected V-Twin engine so you’ll also get a faster response from 0-60 mph and 60-80 mph to get you down any road, no matter how it changes. And all that power could result in a bike that vibrates like an airplane engine, but Harley-Davidson was thinking two steps ahead: the Milwaukee-Eight 107 is completely counterbalanced so save you the extra headache. It’s also slimmed down to fit in the sleeker Sport Glide frame and you still get that signature Harley-Davidson growl.

Touring Ready

All this power means you can shred the road on your home street, that’s true, but we know you’re more interested in flying down the interstate. The Sport Glide is ready to fly with you. Because it’s lightweight, you’ll find it more agile and easier to handle over long distances. The engine’s low-vibration smooths out your trip and mini-fairings keeping the headwind off you. At the end of the day, you’ll find you’re not as exhausted because the Sport Glide keeps you fresh faced. And to accommodate that extra luggage for a long trip, you’ll get hard-side locking saddlebags to keep it all together and safe. If you need to lose a few pounds, you can remove the saddlebags and the mini-fairing for easy cruising. The Sport Glide is ready to deliver on any end of the touring-cruising spectrum.

Technology with Style

To top it all off, you’ll also get the latest in motorcycle technology. The Sport Glide comes equipped with the LED forward-lighting system and keyless ignition. You’ll also get the best styles Harley-Davidson has to offer as part of the aggressive styling collection. This includes blacked features like the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine and the mufflers, as well as Mantis cast aluminum wheels and the strong lined exhaust pipes. Just because the Sport Glide covers all the bases, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t also get the best look. So Harley-Davidson has made good on that.

The Sport Glide is an exciting new addition to the Softail line and here at Toad Suck Harley-Davidson, we’re excited to add it to our lineup in our showroom. If you’re looking for the best of both the touring world and the cruising world, you’d better stop by our location in Conway, Arkansas today. We also proudly serve Russellville, Fort Smith, and Hot Springs, AR.
