Timeless Design, Modern Edge
Launched on January 23, 2025, the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 2025 blends its legendary Terminator 2 swagger with fresh upgrades, making it a cruiser masterpiece. Its bold, low-slung look, powered by a Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin, combines classic chrome with cutting-edge tech for epic highway rides or city cruising. Priced from ₹18.19 lakh (India) or $22,599 (USA), it’s a rare prize like a 1943 Lincoln Wheat Penny, dwarfing the Hero Splendor Electric’s commuter appeal with unmatched style.
Raw Power Unleashed
The 1,868cc Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin delivers 93.87 bhp and 126 ft-lbs torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a deep, rumbling two-into-two exhaust. Reaching ~177 km/h, it achieves 18 kmpl (ARAI, ~12–15 kmpl real-world) with an 18.9-liter tank, offering a 220–270 km range. The updated monoshock suspension ensures a smooth ride, outclassing the TVS XL100’s basic setup, though its 317 kg weight requires finesse in tight spots.
Stunning Looks, Plush Comfort
Sporting 18-inch Lakester wheels with Michelin® Scorcher® 11 tires (160/60 front, 240/40 rear), cutback fenders, and a chrome headlight nacelle, the Fat Boy shines in Vivid Black, Billiard Gray, Blue Burst, Whiskey Fire/Vivid Black (+$525), or Heirloom Red Fade. LED lighting and a 675 mm seat prioritize comfort, unlike the Yamaha MT-15 V2’s sporty stance, but its 115 mm clearance limits off-road ventures.
Smart Tech, Safe Cruising
A 5-inch analog/LCD display tracks ride modes (Road, Rain, Sport), gear, and fuel, with Cornering ABS, Traction Control, and TPMS for safety, surpassing the Piaggio Ape E-City’s basics. Cruise control, USB-C, and Bluetooth add modern flair, while 300 mm front and 292 mm rear disc brakes outshine the Maruti Ertiga’s ABS. It’s a tech-packed ride for the modern cruiser.
Price, Icon Edition, and Where to Ride
At ₹18.19 lakh (India) or $22,599 (USA), with Delhi on-road prices of ₹25.69–28.82 lakh, it’s pricier than the Indian Chief Dark Horse but iconic. A 2025 Grey Ghost Icon (~$30,000, ~1,750 units) drops March–May 2025. Available at Harley-Davidson dealers, harley-davidson.com, or BikeWale, the Fat Boy is a bold, timeless cruiser ready to rule the road.
