While comfortable, it’s far from the laid-back, relaxing ride associated with Harley-Davidsons. Thanks to wide tyres – 150mm at the front, and 180mm at the rear – the Fat Bob takes a decent shove of counter-steer to lean in to tight bends, and even more so at lower speeds. Mid-corner, the thick front just wants to stand back up. 2021 Harley-Davidson SoftailÂź Fat Bob 114 pictures, prices, information, and specifications. Specs Photos & Videos Compare. MSRP. $18,799.

On paper, this bold new take on the V-Twin cruiser has a lot of things going for it. One of the Fat Bob’s best attributes is its excellent Milwaukee-Eight powerplant. Both the 107 and 114 deliver plenty of power throughout the rev range. Throttle response is instant, yet dual Harley-Davidson Fat Bob is a cruiser bike available in only 1 variant and 3 colours. The Harley-Davidson Fat Bob is powered by 1868cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 92.5 bhp and a torque of 155 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Harley-Davidson Fat Bob comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Fat Bob bike weighs 306 kg and RwzPi7.

Ride It Again For The First Time by , on April 22, 2019, 12:30 Heavily bobbed and blacked-out, the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob comes with a choice of engine: the 107-inch Milwaukee-Eight or the 114-inch version. These grunty powerplants, along with a (relatively) sporty new suspension system from the redesign in 2018 give the Fat Bob an aggressive bent that is meant to appeal to a younger generation of rider. The Fat Bob saw a complete do-over in 2018, so if you rode it before and weren’t impressed, know that you haven’t ridden this Fat Bob. Year: 2018- 2019 Make: Model: Model: Engine: Milwaukee-Eight 107 Displacement: 107 cubic inches Top Speed: 110 mph (Est.) Price: 17049 Price: Maximum lean angles have increased this year so it will lean further than most cruiser riders are willing to go. Only a true fiery-eyed pegdragger is likely to run into clearance issues in the sweeps. Harley-Davidson’s Fat Bob is one of only a few Dyna models that made the crossover into the all-new-in-2018 Softail lineup. Its popularity as an FXD played heavily into that decision, and it looks like the factory is doubling down on more of the same modern-custom/bobber vibe that endeared it to its fans. Will it be enough? Time will tell, and with the overall decline of motorcycling, models that grab the Millennials’ attention may help prop up the MoCo until the next gen comes of age or, at least, until the pendulum swings back the other way. Obviously, the move from the FXD frame to the FXST brings with it a host of changes. As with the other Softails, there is a certain amount of age-ambiguity with the Fat Bob’s lines by virtue of its faux-hardtail frame that cuts an entirely different figure altogether. While the previous gen had a definite ’60s to ’70s vibe to it, the lines of the new gen could hail back as far as 1949, or as recently as 1984 when the original Softail was launched. Harley reached into custom territory yet again, but this time, it was going for an entirely modern look rather than shooting for the custom culture of yesteryear as it did with the Softail Slim, for instance. The fenders are cut back to the bone and the absolute limits of functionality, with the Yamaka-size front fender and rear fender that just barely catches the struts for an unimpeded view of the rear hoop. A tapered p-pad joins the solo saddle for two-up capability, at least on paper. Yeah, it looks cool, but you won’t want to put anyone on it that you care about very much. The peculiar twin-headlight setup was replaced by a modern interpretation of the classic headlight nacelle that uses a trapezoid-shaped opening to house a set of powerful LED headlights. Blackout treatment makes it onto this newfangled nacelle that all but disappears against the blackdrop of the risers, bar, mirrors, tripletree and inverted fork stanchions. When the factory shoehorned the Mil-8 engine into the frame, it dropped the much-maligned “ham-can” air cleaner in favor of a smaller round breather that shares the blackout treatment and chrome trim with the engine for a nice continuity of design that also gives your right leg a little break. Sportster and old-school Big-Twin riders, you know what I’m talking about. An upswept exhaust system comes with full-length heat shielding with a kick at the muffler end that lends the Fat Bob a certain air of performance even if the forward controls are actually the limiting factor to cornering. That said, maximum lean angles have increased this year with 31 degrees of lean to the right, and 32 to the left, so it will lean further than most cruiser riders are willing to go. Only a true fiery-eyed pegdragger is likely to run into clearance issues in the sweeps on this thing. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Chassis Along with the newfound agility, you can still count on a certain amount of stability with decent tracking. On the Fat Bob, tubular-steel members make up the all-new Softail frame just as they always have. In the first update since Y2K and largest change since its 1984 release, the factory chopped out 50-percent of the frame members while managing to increase stiffness and handling. That last is a pretty big deal since Softails had a poor reputation for handling and cornering performance, so anything that adds some fun and comfort is a good thing. The steering head kicks the forks out to 28 degrees for a bit of rake, and inches of trail, so along with the newfound agility you can still count on a certain amount of stability with decent tracking. Up front, inverted forks further bolster the sporty looks of the bike while providing greater strength and better damping profiles, but unfortunately come sans adjustment so they are almost as vanilla as ever. The rear monoshock rides under the seat with a hand-adjustable preload feature that allows for easier adjustments than we had back in the day with the old under-tranny shocks that forced you to get down and wallow around with a spanner every time you had to adjust for changing cargo and passenger weight. Blackout rims mount the 16-inch hoops with a fat 150/80 up front and 180/70 out back, and though I think laced rims might look a bit better, it probably wouldn’t matter given that the dual front brake discs all but completely occlude the spokes. ABS is optional on the base model but standard equipment on the 114, and Harley left its linked-brakes business where it belongs: on the shelf. Unladen seat height rides at 28-inches high; a skosh tall for a Softail, but still lower than most cruiser imports. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Drivetrain The Milwaukee-Eight provides the strongest roll-on in both fifth and sixth gear, so you can make passes with more authority than ever. I’m told that black is very slimming, and that seems to be true with the blackout Mil-8 engines that seem to blend into the background, case-in-point on the Fat Bob. Don’t be fooled; these engines are big enough to have smaller engines in orbit around them. I mean, they’re a real chunk, but they’d have to be to contain that displacement, yeah? The 107 cubic-inch version runs a 100 mm bore and 111 mm stroke while the 114 has a 102 mm bore and mm stroke with a 10-to-1 and compression ratio, respectively. Electronic fuel injection delivers the dino-juice, but we still have nothing in the way of TC or variable power delivery and that’s getting harder to forgive as we see relatively inexpensive imports coming in with all that and more. Even Indian Motorcycle under the Polaris umbrella, is bringing in rider modes, so it’s just a matter of time. Always torquey, the Mil-8 plants take H-D engines to a new level with 107 pound-feet of torque from the 107 and 118 pounds from the 114. Not only does this give you the stump-pulling power you expect, but it also provides the strongest roll-on in both fifth and sixth gear, so you can make passes with more authority than ever. The six-speed transmixxer crunches the ratios and sends power to the rear wheel via a quiet belt drive that is not only tough (I’ve yet to break one, personally) but easy to maintain. A balancer in the engine helps attenuate much of the engine vibration. It shakes a bit at idle (as it should) but as soon as you crack the throttle it smooths right out. Perhaps too much? Maybe, but you’ll get used to it. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Pricing MSRP starts at $17k for the base model in basic black with new colorways available for 2019. You can score a 2019 Fat Bob 107 in Vivid Black for $17,049 or go for the color option for $17,449 and ABS for another $795. The 114 understandably fetches a premium with a $18,849 sticker on the basic black and $19,249 tag on the color option. ABS is standard on the 114, and the security system is standard equipment across the board. West Coast brothers and sisters, alas, you can look forward to buying a special $200 emissions package just for you. Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Competitors The competition will certainly be appealing to shoppers with no H-D-brand loyalty as yet. Gotta say, it was tough to find something to go head-to-head with Harley’s new Dyna-turned-Softail. I see folks throwing the Ducati XDiavel around a lot, but I ain’t seein’ it unless you count the fact that they’re both cruisers with forward controls. Sorry folks, but the XDiavel is just an Italian crotch rocket with the footpegs in the wrong place, and people riding look like they’re trying to turn Power Ranger into Easy Rider. Not only does it not work, it isn’t likely to appeal to someone who is looking hard at a Fat Bob. It falls short on power at only 93 pounds o’ grunt though the electronics are far and away superior to what Harley brings to the table, suspension, too. Next, I looked at the Star Raider from Yamaha. The looks are similar in that both embrace the custom culture though the Raider goes for the raked-and-stretched look opposed to the Fat Bob’s chopped-and-bobbed build. The power figures show that Yamaha has something going on over there; namely a claimed 123 pound-foot output that shames H-D’s new 107 and 114 Mil-8. Yamaha compounds the pain with a $15,199 ticket that will certainly be appealing to shoppers with no MoCo loyalty as yet, and that may be enough of a difference to buy some business away from Harley. He Said “If I’m honest, I’ll admit that I didn’t like the FXD version, and I’m only marginally more in favor of the new version. Don’t get me wrong; chopped and bobbed is great, but I feel it’s an artistic expression that should be done in a garage with sweat and love (not necessarily in that order) not something you roll off the showroom floor. Yeah, I know the folks nowadays lack the skills, tools and experience (for the most part) to do it themselves, but I kinda feel like if you want to buy one of these, just go ahead and get the dealership to sew the patches on your vest, too.” She Said My wife and fellow motorcycle writer, Allyn Hinton, says, “The Fat Bob is the performance-driven model in the Softail lineup from the 2018 redesign. Yeah, it has a p-pad, but it isn’t comfortable, so consider this a solo ride. I like the headlamp, which is unique to the Fat Bob from last year. It’s more of a Mad Max look than the other Softails. The forward controls on the Fat Bob have been moved back a little this year and so the riding position is much more comfortable for shorter riders than on previous model years. I mention what is and isn’t comfortable, but honestly, the seat is more sportbike-like in its hardness, so don’t consider this a long-distance ride.” Harley-Davidson Fat Bob SpecificationsFurther Reading Ducati XDiavel See our review of the Ducati XDiavel.

Et tu ne portes plus lunettes ? » « Oui, le toubib m’a mis Ă  la diĂšte et au sport, et puis mon coach m’a conseillĂ© les lentilles, c’est plus sexy paraĂźt-il
 » Nouveau look pour une nouvelle vie quoi ! Comme nous l’écrivions dans notre essai du Street Bob 2018, le renouvellement de la gamme Softail de ce nouveau millĂ©sime est le plus gros projet jamais dĂ©veloppĂ© par Harley-Davidson depuis la naissance de la marque. En mĂȘme temps, 2018 fĂȘtera le 115Ăš anniversaire de la MoCo, il fallait bien ça ! Mais si la nouvelle famille des « queues molles » s’agrandit, c’est aussi parce qu’en mĂȘme temps, une autre disparaĂźt
 Eh oui, bye bye les Dyna : Fat Bob, Street Bob et Low Rider deviennent donc Softail, la Wide Glide tirant sa rĂ©vĂ©rence. ElĂ©ment distinctif de l’ADN Softail dont ces 3 piĂšces rapportĂ©es hĂ©ritent : la suspension arriĂšre dissimulĂ©e en lieu et place des deux amortisseurs latĂ©raux, pour un style hardtail Ă©purĂ©. Mais si il n’y avait que ça ! Nouveau cadre allĂ©gĂ© et plus rigide (voir plus de dĂ©tails notre essai + vidĂ©o du Street Bob 2018), nouveau moteur, nouvelles suspensions, nouveau regard, nouvelle instrumentation, et mĂȘme nouvelle bĂ©quille offrent une seconde jeunesse aux Softail en gĂ©nĂ©ral, et au Fat Bob en particulier qui n’a rien perdu de son dynamisme. HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : STYLE C’est bien sĂ»r ce qui saute aux yeux : fini les deux optiques rondes caractĂ©ristiques du Fat Bob jusqu’à maintenant (ça lui donnait presque un air anglais !), place Ă  un feu rectangulaire Ă  l’horizontale, tout plein de leds, il paraĂźt que ça Ă©voque un « poing amĂ©ricain ». Certains regrettent dĂ©jĂ  les globules, d’autres approuvent ce plongeon dans la modernitĂ©, ce qui est sĂ»r, c’est que ça fait parler (et ça lui va plutĂŽt bien en fait) ! Accent est mis sur le look dark minimaliste, adieu les chromes du guidon, de l’échappement 2-1-2 aux silencieux bien raccourcis, comme le garde-boue arriĂšre tronquĂ© oĂč le feu arriĂšre a disparu (les clignos sont multitaches), ainsi que le support de plaque
 Celle-ci est maintenant supportĂ©e par le bras oscillant : belle vue sur le boudin et l’amorto, ah pour sĂ»r, t’as le look coco, mais t’as aussi le dos repeint ! Et si l’avant vous paraĂźt moins imposant, c’est aussi parce que le rĂ©servoir s’est affinĂ©, perdant plus de 5 l de contenance. Bien pour allĂ©ger, moins bien pour l’autonomie
 Notez que le radiateur d’huile (big twin Milwaukee Eight Ă  refroidissement mixte oblige) est tout de mĂȘme bien dissimulĂ©. HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : ERGONOMIE Ce n’est pas trop au niveau des jambes que ça va coincer pour les plus petits (dont nous sommes avec 1,60 m), car la selle Ă  710 mm reste basse, et les commandes aux pieds accessibles. Non, ce sont les bras qui vont tirer, et il faudra s’avancer au max sur la selle pour manƓuvrer Ă  basse vitesse. Toutefois, c’est moins pire que sur le prĂ©cĂ©dent modĂšle, et comme pour le Street Bob, il est possible de modifier l’inclinaison du guidon. Les plus grands quant Ă  eux n’y voient pas de souci, et peuvent profiter du dosseret formĂ© par la selle. HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : CONFORT On est bien assis sur le Fat, la selle est accueillante et moelleuse, mais ce qui fatigue les lombaires, comme sur la plupart des american bikes, c’est d’ĂȘtre en appui sur les lombaires sans pouvoir se soulager avec les jambes. Avoir les bras tendus et Ă©cartĂ©s n’est pas non plus de tout repos, mais ça, on le savait dĂ©jĂ . De ce point de vue, le Street Bob 2018 nous a paru moins exigeant, mais c’est aussi qu’elle est plus lĂ©gĂšre et moins physique Ă  emmener. La bonne nouvelle, c’est que l’amortisseur du Fat Bob (idem Fat Boy et Breakout) est rĂ©glable sans dĂ©poser la selle et sans outils grĂące Ă  la molette dĂ©portĂ©e, youpi ! En l’occurence pour notre gabarit et sans passager, la position la plus soft Ă©tait parfaite, tant pour le confort que pour la tenue de route. HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : INSTRUMENTATION - COMMANDES Toujours sur la console au dessus du rĂ©servoir, le compteur circulaire a vu son graphisme Ă©voluer, faisant toujours la part belle au compte-tours analogique, mais avec un Ă©cran numĂ©rique un peu plus grand, dont on fait dĂ©filer les infos Ă  main gauche. Vitesse, rapport engagĂ©, compte-tours, 2 trips, totalisateur, dĂ©compte kilomĂ©trique d’autonomie, et une jauge de rĂ©servoir Ă  segments avec tĂ©moin de rĂ©serve : tout y y, suffisamment lisible. Rien de nouveau aux poignĂ©es ni pour le bouchon de rĂ©servoir Ă  simple vis. HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : MOTEUR Miam miam, le gros big twin 114 ! Pour atteindre ses 1868 cm3, c’est l’alĂ©sage qui a Ă©tĂ© augmentĂ© (102 mm au lieu de 100 pour le 107, quand la course reste Ă  111,1 mm), et avec ses 4 soupapes, et son refroidissement mixte air/huile, non seulement il passe Euro4 mais il dĂ©livre un couple de 155 Nm Ă  3000 tr/min (au lieu de 145 pour le 107). Question puissance, les 69 kW (94 ch) Ă  5020 tr/min n’ont rien de fulgurant pour la cylindrĂ©e, mais est-il besoin de prĂ©ciser que ce n’est pas lĂ  que rĂ©side l’agrĂ©ment des twins amĂ©ricains ? Ici montĂ© rigide dans le cadre, il est Ă©quipĂ© d’un double balancier d’équilibrage : les vibrations sont bien filtrĂ©es, notamment au ralenti (presque trop ?!). ForcĂ©ment plus l’alĂ©sage augmente, moins l’effet longue course est sensible, surtout Ă  la remise des gaz en sortie de courbe. Mais mais mais quelle patate ! Et une plage de rĂ©gime utile plus large, moins d’inertie, un trĂšs bon ressenti Ă  la poignĂ©e offrant un dosage subtil, ce qui permet presque de se passer d’antipatinage (gare aux conditions d’adhĂ©rence prĂ©caire, surtout que les pneus Dunlop trĂšs sculptĂ©s n’offrent pas un grip de tous les instants)
 Toutefois notre petit doigt nous dit que ce sera l’une des Ă©volutions futures sur lesquelles planche Harley. Etant donnĂ© l’écart de poids des deux modĂšles, la diffĂ©rence avec le 107, que nous avons testĂ© sur le Street Bob, ne nous a pas semblĂ© phĂ©nomĂ©nale et se ressent surtout aux ruades de la roue arriĂšre. Certains apprĂ©cieront ! HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : COMPORTEMENT VILLE Parfait pour faire le beau le long des avenues et aux terrasses le gros Bob ! Un peu moins dans les petits coins bien qu’il ait perdu 14 kg sur la balance, mais bon on se dĂ©brouille, on s’y reprend Ă  deux fois pour les demi-tours et on fait gaffe Ă  l’endroit oĂč on se gare. Le 114 est assez conciliant pour ne pas avoir besoin de jouer de la boĂźte en permanence, en revanche votre cuisse droite cuit toujours Ă  l’étouffĂ©e. Les repose-pieds pourront aussi gĂȘner les mollets des courts-sur-pattes. HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : COMPORTEMENT ROUTE - AUTOROUTE RigiditĂ© du nouveau cadre et nouvelles suspensions efficaces (dont une fourche inversĂ©e bienvenue) offrent une rigueur bienvenue Ă  ce Bob tendance power cruiser : il fallait bien ça pour aller avec ce Milwaukee Eight 114. Alors du coup on a envie d’en remettre, et lĂ , on sent tout de suite que le gros boudin de 150 mm Ă  l’avant (130 prĂ©cĂ©demment) va exiger quelques sĂ©ances Ă  la salle de muscu. Quand on hausse le rythme, les changements d’angle demandent de la poigne, c’est qu’il irait bien tout droit, Bob ! Du coup on profite moins de ses nouvelles aptitudes « sportives » et de l’angle d’inclinaison augmentĂ© d’un degrĂ© Ă  droite comme Ă  gauche (31° et 32 °). Allez, rien de rĂ©dhibitoire, surtout que l’empattement et l’angle de chasse ont Ă©tĂ© un peu rĂ©duits au bĂ©nĂ©fice de la vivacitĂ©, c’est le genre qui veut ça, mais pour notre part nous avons prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© piloter le Street Bob, plus instinctif Ă  emmener. Et vous Ă©viterez bien sĂ»r les longs trajets autoroutiers, quoi que le 114 soit trĂšs agrĂ©able sur son 6Ăš rapport overdrive. Il faudra voir aussi quel est son appĂ©tit, pour dĂ©terminer l’autonomie de ce nouveau Fat Bob. HARLEY-DAVIDSON FAT BOB 114 : FREINAGE Pas d’évolution notable du systĂšme, mais ici aussi on profite de l’amortissement de qualitĂ© supĂ©rieure, les transferts de masse sont bien gĂ©rĂ©s par la fourche inversĂ©e, et l’on utilise d’autant plus volontiers le levier droit que puissance et feeling sont au rendez-vous sur le double disque avant, dont le Fat est le seul Ă  disposer parmi les Softail. Comme sur le Street Bob, le frein arriĂšre nous a semblĂ© moins consĂ©quent que d’habitude chez Harley, et assez prompt Ă  dĂ©clencher l’ABS.
