2008 Boss Hoss BHC-3 LS2 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Boss Hoss's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2008 Boss Hoss BHC-3 LS2 utilizes a 6000 cc (366.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v8, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 425 HP (310.2 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 576.3 Nm (425.1 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 70.8 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
