Introduced for the 2010 model year, this touring nameplate began as the FLHTK Electra Glide Ultra Limited and quickly established itself as Harley-Davidson’s most fully equipped non-CVO Grand American Touring motorcycle. Harley-Davidson’s own touring history places its debut in 2010 and notes that the name later became simply Ultra Limited, reflecting a clean evolution rather than a separate revival. The model was positioned as the top conventional touring option for riders who wanted the full long-distance Electra Glide formula with a premium feature set and factory comfort equipment. It became one of the best-known modern Harley baggers, built around the brand’s classic batwing-fairing touring silhouette and a large, passenger-friendly touring package. Over time, it tracked the broader Harley-Davidson touring updates, including the major 2009 chassis redesign, the Project Rushmore-era refinements in the mid-2010s, and later powertrain and infotainment updates. Harley-Davidson continued offering the model through the 2024 lineup, but the 2025 range shifted to Street Glide Ultra instead, and Harley-Davidson’s 2026 materials refer back to the previous Ultra Limited as the predecessor to that replacement model. In enthusiast terms, the nameplate represents the final evolution of the classic full-dress Harley touring formula before the line was reshaped around newer model names.
