2012 Harley-Davidson FLTRU Road Glide Ultra Review
Long-range comfort. Long-haul features. Unique Harley® styling. Turn heads as you eat up the road, solo or sharing the journey
The Road Glide® Ultra combines the light handling and wind-splitting aerodynamics of a frame-mounted fairing with a full complement of touring appointments for the devoted long distance rider and passenger. The innovative Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's powerful engines.
Once again setting the standard as the “tourer’s touring bike,” the Road Glide® Ultra takes comfort, convenience and functionality to the next level. All the outstanding handling properties of the unique “shark nose,” framemounted fairing are combined with the added convenience of a deluxe King Tour-Pak™ carrier, fairing lowers with integral glove boxes, a huge 1690 cc Twin Cam 103™ engine, Anti-lock Brakes and a Smart Security System all standard.
The Road Glide® Ultra doesn’t stop at functionality. This modern beauty showcases all the attention to detail that Harley-Davidson is known for. A clean, sleek profile. A unique Road Glide® Ultra medallion on the Tour-Pak® carrier. Woven-nylon, soft luggage liners. Deep rich paint and chrome. There’s no mistaking this bike for anything but true, authentic Harley-Davidson.
