Harley Davidson Street Bob

The Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 has been unveiled as a part of Harley’s 2021 global lineup. You can read a more in-depth report on the 2021 range here. The Street Bob 114 is a replacement to its smaller-engined predecessor and essentially gets the same Milwaukee-Eight 114 motor as the Fat Boy 114. 

This 1,868cc air-cooled V-twin motor generates a healthy 161Nm of torque at just 3,000rpm. The engine is linked to a 6-speed transmission and a belt drive. Harley-Davidson says this motor offers 9 percent quicker acceleration from 0-96kmph compared to the smaller-engined version. Ths motor offers a claimed mileage of 19.98kmpl, which is pretty decent for a bike of its class.

The tubular steel frame is linked to a 49mm telescopic dual-bending valve front fork and a coil-over monoshock with preload adjustability. The 19-inch front and the 16-inch rear spoke wheels are shod with Dunlop D401 F/T (front/rear) tyres. Braking is via a 300mm front and a 292mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS as standard.

Expect Harley-Davidson to launch the Street Bob 114 in India around September this year. It is likely to command a price of around Rs 18 lakh and will be sold via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route. It will rival the Indian Scout Bobber Twenty in its segment.
