Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider S relies on a 1801 cc (109.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 97 HP (70.8 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 156 Nm (115.1 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 53.9 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (3,500 rpm) and peak power (5,250 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Dyna Low Rider S measures 305 kg (672 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.32 HP/kg (3.14 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 685 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,630 mm (64.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17.8-liter (4.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 349 km (217 miles) between fill-ups.

Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
