2010 Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic features a 1584 cc (96.7 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 84 HP (61.3 kW) while maximum torque reaches 127 Nm (93.7 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 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the FLHTC Electra Glide Classic measures 375 kg (827 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.46 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 693 mm (27.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,612 mm (63.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.7-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.72 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 338 km (210 miles) between fill-ups.

Within MotoLibrary's Harley-Davidson archive, this model family spans 8 indexed model years from 2002 to 2012, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
