10.04.2026, With the global launch of RIDE, Harley-Davidson rejuvenates the brand. It is a revamped brand platform that honors more than a century of motorcycle culture, designed for riders of our era and paving the way for Harley-Davidson's future.
A new global brand platform paves the way for the future of Harley-Davidson while honoring the brand's past.
RIDE is more than just a word; it represents the spirit that defines and drives Harley-Davidson, the actions and emotions associated with it, and the mindset towards life that has been ingrained with the brand since the company's founding in 1903. It's about more than merely owning a motorcycle from Milwaukee; it is a genuine community of passionate riders. Under the concept of RIDE, people come together, clear their minds, and transform miles into stories – highlighting the immense importance of life on two wheels.
'I am excited to launch the RIDE platform as a brand reboot ahead of the introduction of our corporate strategy in May. RIDE celebrates the fun and joy people experience when riding what we believe to be the best motorcycle in the world, a Harley-Davidson,' explains Artie Starrs, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harley-Davidson.
With the launch of RIDE, Harley-Davidson unveils a new visual identity centered around the return of the classic Bar & Shield logo – an homage to the company's beginnings and a testament to the enduring role of history in shaping the future.
The debut of the platform is brought to life with a video set to the iconic song 'On the Road Again' by Willie Nelson, showcasing raw, authentic footage of real riders and the joy of RIDE, the experience of riding a motorcycle. The spot highlights the spirit of the road and the lifestyle surrounding it – a community that Harley-Davidson brought to life and continues to nurture.
For over a century, Harley-Davidson has defined what it means to ride a motorcycle. RIDE is the next chapter, clearing the path for every rider – those who have been there from the start and those ready to join the community. The conclusion: more bikers, more motorcycle tours, more freedom, and more stories to tell.
