This performance-oriented bagger nameplate appeared for the 2022 model year as a factory hot-rod variant of Harley-Davidson’s batwing-faired touring line. It was positioned above the standard touring trim as a more aggressive, stripped-back alternative with West Coast styling cues, dark finishes, and the Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain. Harley-Davidson carried the model into 2023, keeping the same basic concept while reinforcing its role as a sportier, enthusiast-focused touring motorcycle rather than a long-distance luxury bagger.
For these early years, the nameplate was closely tied to the traditional Street Glide formula: fairing-mounted audio and touring comfort, but with a more performance-minded personality and visual treatment. The model’s official code was FLHXST, and Harley-Davidson’s own parts and owner documentation identify it as a 2022 and 2023 model-year entry. In 2024, Harley-Davidson introduced an all-new Street Glide as part of a redesigned Grand American Touring lineup, which effectively ended the separate ST variant after the 2023 model year.
In Harley-Davidson’s modern lineup, this nameplate is remembered as a short-lived but significant factory performance bagger, bridging the gap between the classic Street Glide formula and the later, fully redesigned touring models.
