Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2009 Harley-Davidson FXCWC Rocker C, a stunning custom-cruiser that epitomizes the spirit of freedom and individuality on two wheels. With its chopper-inspired lines and captivating presence, the Rocker C stands out in Harley's lineup, appealing to riders who crave a blend of classic American cruiser aesthetics and modern engineering. Positioned as a unique offering in the custom-cruiser category, this motorcycle is perfect for those who appreciate the art of customization while demanding high performance and comfort. At the heart of the Rocker C lies a robust 1584cc (96.66 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling torque of 117 Nm (86.3 ft-lbs) at just 3200 RPM. This powerplant, coupled with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, provides an exhilarating ride that strikes a harmonious balance between raw power and effortless cruising. The air-cooled engine features an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, ensuring optimal fuel efficiency while maintaining that trademark Harley growl. Riders will appreciate the confidence-inspiring handling, thanks to the 36.5-degree rake and a well-engineered suspension setup that includes a telescopic front fork and a hidden rear coil-over setup, providing 5 inches of front travel and 3.1 inches at the rear. The Rocker C is laden with standout features that enhance its allure, from the sleek black powder-coated engine adorned with chrome accents to the color-matched “horseshoe” oil tank. The chrome, fire-truck-inspired bullet headlamp and LED turn signals not only add a modern touch but also enhance visibility on the road. Riders will enjoy the comfort of the solo-style “Trick™” two-in-one seat, while the adjustable V-bar riser and stainless-steel, internally-wired handlebars ensure a customized, comfortable riding position. The motorcycle's design is completed with eye-catching Cloisonne 3-D tank medallions and forward-mounted rider footpegs, making it a perfect canvas for personalization. **
