Overview
Introducing the 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Fat Bob, a striking custom-cruiser that embodies the spirit of rebellion and freedom that Harley-Davidson is renowned for. Positioned within the Dyna family, the Fat Bob stands out with its muscular stance and robust design, appealing to riders who crave a powerful yet stylish motorcycle that can tackle both city streets and open highways. With a price point starting at $15,899 in the U.S. and €17,235 in Europe, it's an investment for those who appreciate a blend of tradition and modern engineering in their rides. At the heart of the Fat Bob is a formidable 1687.97 ccm (103 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 78.90 HP at 5000 RPM and a crushing torque of 132 Nm at 3250 RPM.

The dual front disc brakes, combined with an optional ABS system, deliver confidence-inspiring stopping power. With a low seat height of 690 mm (27.2 inches), this motorcycle is accessible to a wider range of riders, while its aggressive stance and distinctive styling—a mix of black denim, vivid colors, and bold design elements—turn heads wherever it goes.
