Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2008 Harley-Davidson FXDL Dyna Low Rider utilizes a 1573.3 cc (96 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 124.8 Nm (92 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 111.3 mm (3.8 x 4.4 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FXDL Dyna Low Rider measures 304.8 kg (672 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 681 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,641 mm (64.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.16-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.43 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 410 km (255 miles) between fill-ups.
