2011 Harley-Davidson FXDF Fat Bob Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2011 Harley-Davidson FXDF Fat Bob features a 1584 cc (96.7 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 125 Nm (92.2 lb-ft) at 3,000 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 FXDF Fat Bob measures 305 kg (672 lbs) dry.
