Introduced for the 2023 model year, this three-wheeled touring nameplate brought Harley-Davidson’s Road Glide formula into the trike segment for the first time. It was positioned as a comfort-focused long-distance machine with the brand’s signature frame-mounted sharknose fairing, giving it a different visual and aerodynamic identity from the batwing-fairing models in the lineup. In Harley-Davidson’s internal model-code system, the FLTRT designation identifies the trike version of the Road Glide family.
The nameplate arrived as part of Harley-Davidson’s broader effort to expand its touring and trike offerings with a model that blended familiar Road Glide styling cues with the stability and practicality of three wheels. Rather than being a historical revival of an older trike, it was introduced as a new addition to the modern touring range, aimed at riders who wanted the Road Glide look and long-haul character in a more accessible three-wheel format.
Its history is therefore straightforward but important: it begins in 2023 and continues as an active Harley-Davidson model line. Over time, the model has evolved alongside the company’s touring updates, but its core identity has remained the same — a Road Glide-derived trike with a fixed fairing, integrated luggage, and a touring posture intended for cross-country riding. Enthusiasts will recognize it as Harley-Davidson’s trike interpretation of one of the brand’s most distinctive modern touring silhouettes.
