Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson 1870 SOFTAIL FAT BOB FXFBS 2018 Le prochain round
presentation of the 1870 SOFTAIL FAT BOB FXFBS 2018
The Dyna Fat Bob loved trouble; the Softail Fat Bob now transcends into provocation. A striking face, a wrestler's frame, a retinal shock far removed from Harley's codes. And that's just the beginning. When you discover the specific features of this machine, with its radically altered chassis and improved damping, you quickly grasp the shift this model is taking to the edge of ferocity. The highlight is the engine - or rather, engines. The Fat Bob is one of a small selection of Softail models that can be powered either by the Milwaukee Eight 107 (1745 cm3 - standard) or the 114 (1868 cm - optional).
It's just an opinion, but the 114 option seems the most in keeping with the Fat Bob's natural aggressiveness. Such a sense of aggression needs to be answered, with big spurts of metal through pistons eager to burst the walls. And that's the job of the big twin: to rip out the emotion and atomize the past. Let's not even mention the Twin Cam 103, now in the category of yesteryear. Let's take a look at what the M8 114 wants to do to its "little" brother. Its obvious gain in displacement gives it 1 mkg more, i.e. 15.8 mkg at 3,000 rpm, as well as 8 extra horsepower. With this effort, the Fat Bob can lift the heart with dignity, make passers-by tremble and appeal to all lovers of vibrations, whatever their nature. To gain these cm3 and this strength, a significant financial extension is necessary; with the small privilege of choosing an additional color; only the Fat Bob 114 can be finished in Industrial Gray Denim.
