Overview

Introducing the 2019 Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Bob, a bold and muscular custom-cruiser that stands out in the crowded motorcycle market. With its aggressive styling, powerful performance, and innovative engineering, the Fat Bob is designed for riders who crave a thrilling experience on the open road. Priced at approximately US$ 17,049, this motorcycle seamlessly blends classic Harley heritage with modern aesthetics, making it a perfect choice for both seasoned riders and those new to the Harley-Davidson family. At the heart of the Fat Bob lies a formidable 1746cc V2 engine, delivering an exhilarating 86 horsepower at 5020 RPM and a staggering 145 Nm of torque at just 3500 RPM. This robust powerplant, featuring a compression ratio of 10.0:1 and advanced Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection, ensures a responsive and exhilarating ride. With a 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, the Fat Bob accelerates smoothly through its gears, providing both power and efficiency that translates to a fuel consumption rate of just 5.50 litres per 100 km (42.77 mpg). Riders will appreciate how the bike’s low seat height of 710 mm (28 inches) and a manageable weight of 296 kg (652.6 pounds) enhance confidence, making it nimble and easy to handle in various riding conditions. The 2019 Fat Bob is packed with features that elevate the riding experience. Its distinctive design is complemented by a robust chassis, featuring a telescopic front fork and twin shocks in the rear for superior handling and comfort. Safety is paramount, with double disc brakes up front and a single disc at the rear, both equipped with ABS for optimal stopping power. The bike’s modern aesthetic is further enhanced through various color options, including the striking Vivid Black and the eye-catching Scorched Orange/Black Denim. Additionally, the electric starter ensures that you’re ready to hit the road at a moment’s notice, while the generous fuel capacity of 13.60 litres means fewer stops and more time enjoying the ride. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 1746cc V2 engine delivers impressive torque and horsepower, making it exhilarating for both city rides and highway cruising.
  • Comfortable Ride: With a low seat height and advanced suspension, the Fat Bob offers a comfortable riding experience, even on longer journeys.
  • Stylish Design: The aggressive and modern styling of the Fat Bob turns heads, standing out among traditional cruiser designs.

Cons

  • Weight: At 296 kg (652.6 pounds), the Fat Bob may feel heavy for newer riders, especially when maneuvering in tight spaces.
  • Fuel Capacity: While reasonably efficient, the 13.60-litre fuel tank may require more frequent refueling on longer trips compared to some competitors.
  • Limited Storage Options: The Fat Bob's minimalist design offers little in terms of built-in storage, which may necessitate the addition of luggage options for longer rides.
