At the heart of the 2011 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUTG Tri Glide Ultra Classic allround motorcycle, Harley-Davidson pairs a 1688 cc (103 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 137 Nm (101.1 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. Internal engine geometry specifies a 9.6:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 698 mm (27.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,692 mm (66.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
