2022 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the touring motorcycle segment, the 2022 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard utilizes a 1746 cc (106.5 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 5,450 rpm while maximum torque reaches 150.5 Nm (111 lb-ft) at 3,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 51.5 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (3,250 rpm) and peak power (5,450 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Electra Glide Standard measures 372 kg (820 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.24 HP/kg (4.13 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 663 mm (26.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,625 mm (64 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.47 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 415 km (258 miles) between fill-ups.
