Harley-Davidson introduced this premium full-dress Touring bagger for the 2010 model year, when it appeared as the Electra Glide Ultra Limited and immediately sat near the top of the brand’s long-distance lineup outside the CVO range. Built around the company’s traditional batwing-fairing touring formula, it was aimed at riders who wanted maximum comfort, storage, and highway equipment in a factory motorcycle without moving into limited-production custom territory. Over time, the name was shortened to Ultra Limited while the model continued as Harley-Davidson’s flagship non-CVO touring machine.
The model became especially significant during the modern Touring era that followed the 2009 chassis redesign, and it remained a cornerstone of Harley-Davidson’s long-haul range through the Milwaukee-Eight years. It represented the company’s classic “ride farther, carry more, stay comfortable” philosophy, pairing full touring bodywork with an upscale feature set that made it a favorite among cross-country riders and two-up touring buyers.
The final model year for this nameplate was 2024. Harley-Davidson’s later touring lineup shifted toward new nameplates and revised Grand American Touring models, and official 2026 materials refer to the previous Ultra Limited as the outgoing benchmark rather than a current production model. In Harley-Davidson history, the Ultra Limited stands as one of the brand’s most important modern touring nameplates and a key bridge between the classic Electra Glide lineage and the company’s newer long-distance touring direction.
