2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST

Picture this: You're rolling down the iconic Bayshore Boulevard, the salty Gulf breeze against your face, the Florida sun painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The only thing that could make this ride even better? Your favorite playlist blasting through a high-performance sound system, each note crisp and powerful enough to make you feel like the road itself is keeping rhythm. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST delivers exactly that experience, thanks to its Rockford Fosgate® Stage II audio system, a setup designed for riders who refuse to compromise on sound quality.

If you're a Tampa motorcyclist who thrives on music-fueled rides, this bike's audio system is built for you. From navigating the city streets, cruising across the Sunshine Skyway, to heading to Daytona for Bike Week, your soundtrack stays rich, immersive, and crystal clear. Let’s dive into why the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST’s sound system stands out and how it transforms the riding experience for those who call Tampa home.

Harley-Davidson® has never been one to settle for average, and the Rockford Fosgate® Stage II audio system in the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST is a testament to that. Designed specifically for motorcycles, this system ensures that riders experience deep bass, sharp mids, and clean highs—even at highway speeds. It delivers exceptional clarity and power, making sure your music doesn't get lost in the rumble of the Milwaukee-Eight® 121 High Output engine or the rush of wind.

The Rockford Fosgate® Stage II speakers are installed in both the fairing and the saddlebag lids, creating a dynamic sound field that envelops the rider. Unlike basic motorcycle speakers that struggle to be heard over road noise, these speakers are engineered to provide consistent and high-quality audio performance—even at 70+ mph.

Each speaker features neodymium magnets and coaxial two-way drivers, which means they produce cleaner highs and deeper lows than standard motorcycle audio systems. The design ensures that every note remains crisp, whether you’re listening to classic rock, country, or even bass-heavy hip-hop.

Florida's unpredictable weather, intense humidity, and frequent rain showers require a system that can handle the elements. Harley-Davidson® and Rockford Fosgate® anticipated this, making the Stage II speakers weather-resistant and durable. The speakers are built to withstand rain, sun, dust, and road vibrations, ensuring that you don’t have to worry about sound quality degrading over time.

Tampa is more than an ordinary city; it's a haven for bikers. You may enjoy some of the greatest riding in the nation on the region's many highways, which run along the ocean and through lively city districts. And there's no better way to appreciate them than with music of studio quality accompanying you on every step?

Navigating Tampa’s downtown streets, Ybor City, or the bustling causeways means dealing with stop-and-go traffic. Instead of enduring the hum of cars and honking horns, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST’s audio system turns every stoplight into a jam session. The Rockford Fosgate® Stage II speakers are designed to cut through urban noise, letting you hear every guitar riff and drum beat, even while idling at a red light.

One of the best things about living in Tampa is how easily you can hop on your bike and escape to Florida’s scenic coastlines. No matter if you're heading to Hyde Park, St. Petersburg, or even taking a long ride to Key West, the Stage II audio system keeps you entertained for the entire journey.

Unlike some motorcycle audio setups that distort at high speeds, the Rockford Fosgate® system remains sharp and clear, even on open highways. That means no more struggling to hear your favorite tunes over the wind or road noise—the sound system adapts, keeping everything balanced for maximum clarity.

Tampa riders don’t have time to mess with tangled wires or outdated controls. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST features seamless Bluetooth® integration, letting you stream music directly from your smartphone or use Apple CarPlay® for even more connectivity options.

The system pairs effortlessly with your phone, ensuring instant access to Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts, or even navigation audio. This means you’re always in control of your ride’s soundtrack without needing to fumble with buttons or cables.

A top-tier sound system is only as good as the interface controlling it. Enter Skyline™ OS, Harley-Davidson®’s most advanced infotainment system to date. Featuring a 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display, Skyline™ OS puts complete control at your fingertips.

  • Customizable Audio Settings – Adjust bass, treble, and balance to tailor the sound to your preferences.
  • Easy Navigation Controls – Effortlessly switch between music, navigation, and communication features.
  • Anti-Glare Display – Designed for Tampa’s bright sunlight, ensuring visibility even during midday rides.

Skyline™ OS doesn’t just manage your audio—it enhances the entire riding experience by combining entertainment, communication, and navigation into one streamlined system.

While the Rockford Fosgate® Stage II audio system is the star of the show, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST is more than a rolling concert hall. If you appreciate raw power and aggressive performance, this motorcycle has plenty to offer.

If you like riding fast across Tampa’s highways, the Milwaukee-Eight® 121 HO engine delivers the power you crave. Producing 127 horsepower and 145 ft-lb of torque, this engine ensures you’re always in control—whether you’re cruising through town or hitting top speeds on the interstate.

Florida roads can be unpredictable, but the SHOWA® 47mm inverted front forks and dual outboard SHOWA® remote reservoir rear shocks make sure your ride stays smooth. From tackling downtown potholes to winding coastal roads, the suspension adapts to keep you stable and comfortable.

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST focuses on control, not just power. The bike features:

  • Cornering ABS
  • Traction Control
  • Multiple Ride Modes (including Track and Track+ for aggressive riding)

These safety enhancements ensure that no matter what Tampa’s roads throw your way, you’re ready for it.

If you’re ready to experience unmatched audio quality and performance, there’s only one way to truly appreciate the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST—by taking it for a ride.
