Harley-Davidson® of Washington, DC - Is the 12.3-inch display on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® easy to use for Gaithersburg, MD riders?

Riders crave tech that fades into the background, and the 12.3-inch color display on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® aims to do exactly that—give you clear, essential information without stealing focus from the road. The interface is laid out to minimize taps, the screen remains legible in bright sun, and ride modes are quick to access so you can adapt to changing conditions without fuss.

Because a touring motorcycle pulls double duty—weekday commuter, weekend mile-eater—the display must support both. Thoughtful menu structure and prominent at-a-glance data make it simple to confirm fuel range, adjust audio, or glance at navigation prompts. Pair that with the model’s refined aerodynamics and chassis balance, and you have a cockpit that genuinely helps reduce fatigue across long days.

Where the Road Glide® pulls ahead is the way the system remains focused on the rider’s needs. The graphics are clean rather than flashy, prioritizing clarity, and the response is quick, so you are not waiting on laggy screens or tapping through deep menu trees. Integration with rider controls means your hands stay where they belong, and the display’s size provides room for legible map details and clean data grouping.

For riders who split time between backroads and beltways, the ease of toggling ride modes is a quiet game-changer. A rain-soaked commute calls for a different throttle character than a sunny weekend loop; being able to make that swap in seconds helps the Road Glide® feel composed no matter the conditions. And because the rest of the bike emphasizes stability—frame-mounted fairing, reduced weight, and steering that remains light in crosswinds—the whole system reinforces confidence.

Harley-Davidson® of Washington, DC supports riders who want a cockpit that is more helpful than complicated. If you have questions about pairing, display customization, or how the tech integrates with your riding habits, our team is happy to provide a walkthrough so the interface feels second nature from day one.
