Here’s The Resale Value Of The Harley-Davidson TriGlide Ultra After 3 Years

The TriGlide Ultra was one of Harley-Davidson’s most expensive non-CVO models in 2022. So it has the potential to sell used for a nice chunk of change. There is a CVO version in MY22 that’s even more expensive, but we’ll focus on the base TriGlide Ultra, even though there is nothing basic about it. It actually is a second-tier trike that builds on the Freewheeler as the base model.

This design got its start as a flathead-powered trike sold as the Servi-Car starting in 1932. It was popular as a delivery vehicle, and could be towed by a car, for instance. So a mechanic’s shop could deliver a vehicle to the owner and ride the trike back to the shop. This would also be a favorite among meter-maids in larger cities, and would see service into the 1970s.

With a bike this expensive, there are a lot of factors that can lower its value, not the least of which is the hit you take as soon as you drive it off the lot and depreciation, which you can’t do anything about. What you can affect is condition, which in the motorcycling world is more important than actual mileage. With any luck, you kept up with maintenance, cleaned it well, and guarded against the effects of weather, because if you didn’t, you’re going to get hosed when you try to sell it.

Condition means more than mileage or accessories when selling a Tri Glide Ultra

What The 2022 TriGlide Ultra Is Worth In 2025

Condition matters more than mileage

Harley-Davidson

When the MY22 TriGlide Ultra hit the streets, the original list price was a lofty $35,699 MSRP. The average used list price in 2025 for one in at least good condition is $24,695. Low mileage helps the price, but not nearly as much as condition. If you want to go the easy route and trade it in against another machine, you can expect to recoup around $19,650, according to Kelly Blue Book. So all in all, the TriGlide holds its value rather well, even though it is technically available today.

Inside The TriGlide Ultra’s Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 114

This long-stroke V-twin balances classic muscle with modern cooling and control

Harley-Davidson

Power for the TriGlide Ultra comes from a Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine. The traditional external-pushrod design persists, but now they actuate four valves per head instead of two, hence the “Eight” component of this engine’s name. H-D’s long-stroke tendencies also show up again in the engine layout, which gives it a total displacement of 1,868 cc and a mildish compression ratio that will tolerate mid-grade fuel just fine.

It’s mostly air-cooled, but the Twin-Cooling yummygoodness adds a water jacket in each head that is meant to draw heat away from the area surrounding the exhaust valves, and has a teensy radiator to eliminate that waste heat from the engine. Power flows through a slip-and-assist clutch that adds a layer of backtorque mitigation to the mix with its characteristically light clutch lever pull weight and broad friction zone that allows for very precise slow-speed control. A six-speed Cruise Drive transmission and belt-type final drive complete the drivetrain.

The TriGlide Ultra’s Frame And Handling Promises Muscle-Built For The Long Haul

From fat-front steel chassis to flat rear tires, this trike rides like a beast and handles like one, too

Harley-Davidson

Round tubing and a square cross-section backbone make up the frame on the TriGlide Ultra with rectangular swingarm structures, all in mild steel that’s easy to work with and weld. While the rear end is pretty special, the forward part of the frame follows the usual FL layout with a fat front end and heavy chassis with the full double-downtube/ dual-cradle construction that has long been a favorite of The MoCo.

The steering head and fork offset leave it with a 32-degree rake angle that fits well with the TriGlide Ultra’s custom look. However, since you can’t countersteer it, you have to be ready to haul its head around and be able to do so all day. That does exact a physical toll, but hey, at least you might wind up with shoulders like a sheetrock hanger. The front hoop is a proper motorcycle tire, but the wide, flat rear tires are decidedly automotive-looking, and it’s those tires that give the TriGlide Ultra its stability and awesome acceleration.

Timeless Style Meets Touring Comfort On The TriGlide Ultra

Classic Harley design, modern wind protection, and 6.8 cubic feet of storage for the long road ahead

Harley-Davidson

The TriGlide Ultra comes with classic styling that goes way back in H-D’s storied history. A full front fender leads the way with the old-school chrome piping, skirt, and script. The new shorter Batwing fairing and windshield protect your upper half, while the fairing lowers protect your legs and double as housings that hide the radiators for your top-end coolant circuits.

A chrome instrument panel dresses up the six-gallon teardrop tank ahead of a deep-scoop saddle for the pilot with a wide pad and full backrest for the pillion. A small Tour-Pak adds some extra cargo capacity, but the main storage is found in the trunk below for a total of 6.8 cubic feet of room. It was available in Vivid Black, Gauntlet Gray Metallic/ Vivid Black, or Midnight Crimson/ Vivid Black in 2022.

Freewheeler Vs. Tri Glide: H-D’s Two Trike Titans Compared

Lighter, faster, and just as loud, the Freewheeler is the rebel of Harley’s three-wheel family

Harley-Davidson

Trikes are rather niche with their own small fan base baked right in, so it should be little surprise that H-D’s trike line is fairly thin with the available to compete for the same slice of the market. Well, almost the same. The Freewheeler is meant to be a bit of a showroom drag bike. Not only does it have the same powerful drivetrain as its more tour-tastic sibling, but it’s lighter for even more blistering acceleration. Those wide rear tires can really grab the blacktop and lay more smoke than a retreating Iraqi army. Reef Blue paint replaces the Gauntlet Gray in the color lineup. Pricing started at $28,499 in 2022, but now you can expect to spend around $24,695 for a ’22 Freewheeler in good shape.

The Most Affordable And Reliable Used Harley-Davidson You Can Own

To date, nothing has beaten the longevity of the Evolution Sportster

The TriGlide Ultra’s Non-Native Rival: The Can-Am Spyder RT Limited

How Can-Am stacks up in the 3-wheel game

Can-Am

Can-Am has been perfecting its Spyder line for a hot minute now by 2022, and so the Spyder RT Limited is well-tuned and a good competitor for the TriGlide Ultra, never mind that it’s the only competitor in the three-wheel sector among the major manufacturers. The Spyder line is delta trikes with dual front wheels that steer, and a single rear wheel that drives—pretty much the opposite of the H-D trike.

Power comes from a Rotax 1330 ACE lump with 115 ponies at 7,250 RPM and 96 pounds o’ grunt on tap at 5,000 RPM. The transmission is a six-speed semi-automatic unit that delivers push-button shifting for easy operation and comes with a reverse function for the ultimate in slow-speed mobility. A robust electronics suite adds lots of ride-control doo-dads that’ll help you keep it dirty side down.

The Spyders run with a frunk — front trunk — that provides 6.28 cubic feet of secure dry storage. The factory has no less than seven colorways, many of which are monochromatic in nature and boring as the day is long, and the red is a little loud. However, the Petrol Metallic is dead sexy, and, if you ask us, looks good enough to be a Harley color.
