The bike is powered by a 1690cc, air cooled, Twin Cam103 V twin engine, which is mated to a six speed transmission. The V twin is capable of producing a meaty 135.6Nm of torque at 3500rpm. To highlight its touring nature, an 18.8 litre hand crafted fuel tank is employed on the bike. Further adding to the appeal is a Tommy Gun exhaust that produces a thundering exhaust note.

The basic design of the bike is like any other Harley, but the details that distinguish it are the forward mounted foot controls, double headlamps, a drag style handlebar, meaty front tyre and a sleek, two up seat, which all add up to give the Fat Bob a mean and aggressive stance.

Harley Davidson, the world renowned bike builder from America, launched its latest model, Fat Bob, today. Priced at Rs 12.8 lakh (ex showroom Delhi), the Fat Bob joins the Dyna family of motorcycles, which are completely knocked down models (CKD). With that, the count of bikes in the Dyna segment has risen to six.
