Built around Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle platform, the 2011 Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic features a 1584 cc (96.7 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 126 Nm (92.9 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.3 x 111.1 mm (3.8 x 4.4 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FLHTC Electra Glide Classic measures 375.1 kg (827 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 739 mm (29.1 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 5.29 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 429 km (267 miles) between fill-ups.
