How Track and Track + Modes Elevate the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST for Winchester, VA Riders
Harley-Davidson® of Washington, DC - How Track and Track + Modes Elevate the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST for Winchester, VA Riders
Track and Track + Ride Modes on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST are more than a switch on a screen—they are a complete tuning philosophy embedded in the chassis, throttle, and braking strategy to help the motorcycle feel planted and predictable when the pace picks up. Winchester, VA riders often balance rolling rural routes with quick urban hops, and this bagger is engineered to handle both. When the road opens and the rhythm builds, the adjustable SHOWA® components and dual floating rotors create a platform that rewards your inputs. Paired with Ride Modes, the bike can be dialed for sharper throttle, more assertive engine braking, and traction parameters that suit closed-course riding. Off the track, you can revert to a calmer configuration that prioritizes composure and comfort, especially when the route turns long and the weather shifts.
Underpinning those modes is the Milwaukee-Eight® 121 HO—delivering 127 horsepower and 145 ft-lb of torque—supported by a high-performance camshaft, Heavy Breather Intake, and titanium mufflers that improve flow with a deep, muscular tone. The 12.3-inch TFT display with Skyline™ OS brings everything together in one lucid interface, offering navigation with traffic and weather overlays and quick access to audio settings. When the screen, the modes, and the hardware all align, the CVO™ Road Glide® ST moves with a satisfying precision that feels more like a curated system than a set of parts. Harley-Davidson® of Washington, DC proudly supports riders across the region, serving Laurel, MD, Manassas, VA, and Winchester, VA. If you are considering a high-performance bagger that balances real-world utility with track-ready poise for practice days and skills development, start by focusing on how the modes shape the ride.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use Track or Track + on public roads?
Track and Track + are intended for closed-course use. For public roads, choose modes designed for everyday ridi ng to keep response and traction management aligned with changing conditions.
How do Ride Modes interact with Cornering ABS and Traction Control?
Ride Modes adjust throttle maps and engine braking while coordinating with Cornering ABS and Traction Control to fine-tune intervention thresholds. The aim is to keep the motorcycle stable under braking and composed as power meets pavement.
What role does Skyline™ OS play in setup?
Skyline™ OS centralizes Ride Modes, navigation overlays, and audio control on a 12.3-inch TFT display. Mode selection is quick, and critical information remains visible, so you can focus on the road or track.
Do I need tools to adjust the suspension?
Compression, rebound, and preload adjustments on the SHOWA® components are rider-accessible. Changes are best made methodically—log your baseline, tweak settings a bit at a time, and evaluate the results on familiar roads or a controlled environment.
Consider starting with a mode that suits the day’s goal—spirited practice on a closed course or relaxed touring—and then align suspension and tire pressures around that target. The CVO™ Road Glide® ST rewards patience and precision: a lap of setup can translate into miles of confidence and a ride that feels tailored to your hands, your posture, and your favorite roads around the Shenandoah Valley.
