Overview

Introducing the 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, a motorcycle that beautifully embodies the spirit of freedom and individuality that the Harley-Davidson brand represents. As part of the popular Dyna family, the Wide Glide is firmly positioned in the custom-cruiser category, appealing to riders seeking a combination of classic styling and modern performance. With a price tag starting at US$ 15,999 (or Euro 16,795), this bike invites riders into the world of Harley with a promise of character, comfort, and an unmatched riding experience, making it an attractive option for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. At the heart of the Dyna Wide Glide lies a robust 1687.97 cc V2 engine, delivering a potent 78.90 horsepower at 5000 RPM and a torque of 132 Nm at 3250 RPM. This powerful four-stroke engine, combined with a smooth-shifting 6-speed gearbox, ensures exhilarating acceleration and a confident ride on any road. The bike's air-cooled design and Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection system enhance performance while maintaining fuel efficiency, with a consumption rate of 5.60 litres per 100 km (42.00 mpg). Riders can expect a robust power-to-weight ratio of 0.2675 HP/kg, which not only contributes to its thrilling performance but also provides a sense of security and stability, whether cruising down the highway or navigating through city streets. The 2016 Dyna Wide Glide is not just about power; it’s packed with features that elevate the riding experience. With a comfortable seat height of 680 mm (26.8 inches) and a ground clearance of 100 mm (3.9 inches), it invites riders of all sizes to enjoy its laid-back aesthetics and relaxed riding position. The front and rear suspension systems—telescopic forks in the front and twin shocks in the rear—work in harmony to provide a smooth ride, soaking up bumps with ease. Safety is paramount, with dual ABS-equipped disc brakes ensuring responsive stopping power. Riders can also choose from an array of striking color options, including Black Quartz with flames and Velocity Red Sunglo with flames, allowing for personalization that reflects their unique style. In summary, the 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide stands as a testament to the brand’s legacy, blending classic styling with modern technology. It invites riders to hit the open road with confidence, style, and an unmistakable Harley spirit.

Pros
