Harley-Davidson 2026 model range sneak peek as new paint program revealed
MY26 will bring subtle changes to Harley-Davidson’s model range, with an exclusive ‘Chapter 1 Reveal’ showcasing a new paint program alongside a largely unchanged line-up from MY25Harley-Davidson Global has confirmed a snippet of motorcycles from its extended 2026 model range in what the American motorcycle giant calls a ‘Chapter 1 Reveal’.
The reveal, viewable on Harley’s YouTube channel, addresses each Harley-Davidson model continuing into the 2026 global range.
Minor tweaks headlined the reveal, alongside highlights of changes made to models in MY25.
The remainder of Harley’s MY26 range, including all MY26 Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) and Limited models, will be revealed in ‘Chapter 2’ on January 15 2026.
Harley’s most significant update for ‘Chapter 1 Reveal’ is a new approach to paint for 2026 models.
Referred to as ‘Infinite Horizons’, the new paint program focuses on enhancing “the way riders feel when seeing a Harley-Davidson for the first time”.
A new suite of colours will adorn the 2026 Street Glide and Road Glide range, with ‘Vivid Black’ being the only colour to carry over from MY25.
Buyers will have a choice of:
- Dark Billiard Gray
- Vivid Black
- Purple Abyss
- Aurora Blue Denim
- Olive Steel Metallic/Vivid Black two-tone
- Teal Thunder/Vivid Black two-tone
Pricing for both models, as well as premium paint, has not yet been revealed.
Aside from new paint colours, the Street Glide and Road Glide will be unchanged for 2026.
Both models were recently overhauled for MY24.
The same applies to the 2026 Harley-Davidson Softail range, Sportster S and Nightster, and Pan America 1250 Special.
These models were significantly updated in 2025, 2022, and 2021 respectively.
Like the Street and Road Glide models, the rest of the MY26 range revealed in ‘Chapter 1 Reveal’ will be offered with unique paint choices compared to MY25, with no further changes.
