Fat Bob Specifications

The Fat Bob runs Harley-Davidson's Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine - 1,868cc of air-cooled V-twin that produces 93.81 PS at 5,020 rpm and a very accessible 155 Nm of torque at just 3,500 rpm. For context, that is more torque than most litre-class sportsbikes, delivered well below normal riding revs. In real-world terms, you are never chasing the tacho - you roll the throttle and the bike accelerates with that deep, unhurried authority that defines the Harley riding experience.

The engine pairs with a 6-speed gearbox fitted with a slipper clutch, which takes the bite out of aggressive downshifts. On long highway stretches like NH44 or the Jaipur-Delhi expressway, the Fat Bob settles into a relaxed cruise where 100 kmph feels genuinely effortless.

For the chassis, the Fat Bob gets 43mm inverted forks up front and a rear monoshock with preload adjustability. Ground clearance is a low 120mm - workable on smooth highways but demanding on Mumbai's speed breakers and broken village roads. Kerb weight is 306 kg, substantial enough that you will not be filtering through traffic casually.

Braking is a real highlight: twin 300mm front discs with 4-piston calipers and a 292mm rear disc, all backed by dual-channel ABS. Stopping power is confident and progressive even at full load.

The seat height of 710mm is accommodating - shorter riders will find it more manageable than most big cruisers at this displacement. Fuel tank capacity is 13.2 litres, giving around 230-240 km of range at the ARAI-claimed 18.18 kmpl. Standard equipment includes cruise control, a 4-inch colour LCD display, LED headlights and taillights, and a belt final drive that requires no lubrication and minimal adjustment.
