Technical Overview
2016 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy S relies on a 1801 cc (109.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 92.5 HP (67.5 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 146 Nm (107.7 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 51.4 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 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 Fat Boy S measures 333 kg (734 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.6 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 670 mm (26.4 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 18.93-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 338 km (210 miles) between fill-ups.
