Overview

Introducing the 2011 Harley-Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom, a stunning embodiment of the custom-cruiser category that delivers both style and substance. With a price tag starting at around US$12,990, this motorcycle is designed for riders who appreciate classic aesthetics fused with modern engineering. The FXDC stands out in Harley's storied lineup, appealing to those looking for a bike that balances custom flair and everyday usability. Its robust frame and distinctive lines invite admiration, making it a striking presence on both city streets and open highways. At the heart of the FXDC is its powerful 1584cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 125 Nm of torque at just 3,000 RPM. The engine's design features a 9.2:1 compression ratio, ensuring a smooth and exhilarating ride whether you're cruising leisurely or accelerating through traffic. The 6-speed gearbox allows for seamless shifting, enhancing the riding experience with effortless power delivery. With its air-cooled design and Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection, the FXDC strikes a perfect balance between traditional Harley charm and contemporary performance, making it a joy to ride in various conditions. The FXDC is packed with features that enhance both comfort and performance. The bike's mild steel tubular frame is not only robust but also lightweight, contributing to its agile handling. Up front, the polished 49mm forks provide 127mm of travel, while the rear's coil-over shock offers 79mm of travel, ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrains. Safety is paramount with the Dyna Super Glide, which is equipped with a single disc brake system that features a 4-piston fixed caliper up front and a 2-piston floating caliper at the rear, providing confident stopping power. Riders can also customize their experience with a variety of vibrant color options, from Vivid Black to Psychedelic Purple, allowing for a personal touch. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The 1584cc V2 engine delivers robust torque and performance, ideal for both city riding and highway cruising.
  • Customizable Aesthetics: A wide range of color options allows riders to express their personal style.
  • Comfortable Ride: Thoughtfully designed suspension and seating make long rides enjoyable and less fatiguing.

Cons

  • Weight: At 295 kg (650.4 lbs), the FXDC can feel heavy, especially at low speeds or when maneuvering in tight spaces.
  • Limited Rear Suspension Travel: With only 79 mm of travel, the rear suspension may not absorb larger bumps as effectively as other models.
  • Price Point: While competitive, the cost may be a barrier for some riders compared to other custom-cruisers in the market.
