Iconic Style, Modern Grit
Launched January 23, 2025, the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy S is a cruiser masterpiece, blending Terminator 2 fame with bold updates. Its Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin, upgraded suspension, and sleek tech make it a beast for highways or city streets. Priced from ₹18.19 lakh (India) or $22,599 (USA), it’s a rare gem like a 1943 Lincoln Wheat Penny, outclassing the Hero Splendor Electric’s commuter vibe with raw charisma.
Thunderous Power
The 1,868cc V-Twin churns out 93.87 bhp and 126 ft-lbs torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a roaring two-into-two exhaust. Hitting ~177 km/h, it offers 18 kmpl (ARAI, ~12–15 kmpl real-world) with an 18.9-liter tank for a 220–270 km range. Its monoshock suspension beats the TVS XL100’s basic setup, though the 317 kg weight challenges tight turns.
Show-Stopping Design
With 18-inch Lakester wheels, Michelin® Scorcher® tires (160/60 front, 240/40 rear), and chrome accents, the Fat Boy S shines in Vivid Black, Billiard Gray, Blue Burst, Whiskey Fire/Vivid Black, or Heirloom Red Fade. LED lights and a 675 mm seat ensure comfort, unlike the Yamaha MT-15 V2’s sporty stance, but its 115 mm clearance limits off-road use.
Smart Tech, Safe Ride
A 5-inch analog/LCD display shows 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 flair, while 300 mm front and 292 mm rear disc brakes outshine the Maruti Ertiga’s ABS.
Price and Availability
At ₹18.19 lakh (India) or $22,599 (USA), with Delhi on-road prices of ₹25.69–28.82 lakh, it tops the Indian Chief Dark Horse but delivers unmatched legacy. A 2025 Grey Ghost Icon (~$30,000, ~1,750 units) hits March–May 2025. Find it at Harley-Davidson dealers, harley-davidson.com, or BikeWale, a timeless ride with epic style.
