Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2017 Harley-Davidson Freewheeler, a captivating blend of power, style, and stability, designed for motorcycle enthusiasts who crave the open road but prefer the confidence of three wheels. As a custom-cruiser, the Freewheeler carves out its niche in the motorcycle market with a robust presence and a design that evokes the classic Harley spirit while offering modern conveniences. With a price tag starting at US$26,339 and available in eye-catching colors such as Velocity Red Sunglo and Vivid Black, the Freewheeler appeals to those who want to make a bold statement while enjoying a unique riding experience. At the heart of the Freewheeler is its impressive 1747cc V2, four-stroke engine, which churns out a formidable 88 horsepower and a torque of 150 Nm at just 3250 RPM. This powertrain, mated to a 6-speed gearbox and an efficient electronic sequential port fuel injection system, ensures a smooth yet exhilarating ride. The bike’s weight of 492 kg (1,084.7 lbs) might suggest a hefty feel, but the Freewheeler's design and engineering allow for nimble handling and remarkable stability on both city streets and winding roads. With a comfortable seat height of 700 mm, it caters to riders of various sizes, making it an accessible choice for those new to trikes or seasoned riders alike. The Freewheeler is loaded with features that enhance both comfort and safety. The trike's electric starter and cruise control provide added convenience for long journeys, while the foot-actuated dual parking brake adds a layer of security when parked. The 22.71-litre fuel tank ensures you can cover long distances without frequent stops, and the telescopic front suspension, combined with robust braking systems featuring double disc brakes up front and a single disc at the rear, guarantees a smooth ride with reliable stopping power. With a rake of 26° and a trail of 101 mm, this trike offers a relaxed riding position, inviting you to savor every moment on the road. **
