About Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob Special 2016
Introducing the 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob Special, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of freedom and rebellion inherent in the Harley-Davidson brand. Positioned within the custom-cruiser category, the Street Bob Special combines a raw, stripped-down aesthetic with modern performance capabilities, making it an ideal choice for riders who crave both style and substance. With a starting price of $13,699 in the U.S. (dependent on location and options), this bike caters to both seasoned riders and those new to the Harley family, inviting them to experience the open road in classic American style.
At the heart of the Dyna Street Bob Special lies a powerful 1,690cc (103.12 cubic inches) V2 four-stroke engine, designed to deliver robust performance and a thrilling ride. With a compression ratio of 9.6:1, the engine produces ample torque, allowing for quick acceleration and an exhilarating experience on the open road. The six-speed gearbox, paired with a belt final drive, provides smooth transitions and effortless power delivery, while the air-cooled fuel-injected system ensures efficient fuel consumption at approximately 5.47 liters per 100 km (43.00 mpg). Riders will appreciate the balance of power and control, making it equally adept at spirited rides through winding roads as it is at cruising along the highway.
The Street Bob Special is packed with features that enhance both comfort and performance. Its low, 680mm (26.8 inches) seat height makes it accessible for riders of varying statures, and the iconic minimalist design is complemented by a telescopic front fork and twin rear shocks, providing a stable and responsive ride. The braking system features a single disc with a four-piston fixed caliper at the front and a two-piston torque-free floating disc at the rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. Riders can choose from a range of eye-catching color options, including Olive Gold and Hard Candy Cancun Blue Flake, allowing for personal expression on the road.
Pros:
- Powerful Engine Performance: The robust 1690cc V2 engine delivers impressive torque for both acceleration and cruising.
- Customizable Aesthetic: A wide range of color options and accessories allows riders to personalize their bike to reflect their unique style.
- Comfortable Riding Position: The low seat height and well-designed ergonomics make it comfortable for long rides as well as city cruising.
Cons:
- Weight: At 291 kg (641.5 pounds), the Street Bob can feel heavy at low speeds, making it less agile in tight situations.
- Limited Storage: The minimalist design means fewer built-in storage options for riders needing to carry gear or personal items.
- Basic Technology: While it excels in performance, some riders may find the technology and features less advanced compared to competitors in the same category.
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob Special is not just a motorcycle; it's an invitation to embrace the road with confidence and style. Whether you're a long-time Harley enthusiast or a first-time buyer, this bike promises an exhilarating ride steeped in tradition and modernity.
