Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the touring motorcycle segment, the 2013 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic features a 1688 cc (103 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 135.6 Nm (100 lb-ft) at 3,250 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 98.4 x 111.3 mm (3.9 x 4.4 inches) with a 9.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Tri Glide Ultra Classic measures 545 kg (1202 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 688 mm (27.1 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 paired with a rated consumption of 6.19 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 367 km (228 miles) between fill-ups.
