The Harley-Davidson Softail family
Product portfolio and the new FXDR 114
Although the Softail models feature the rigid frame aesthetic design that characterized many motorcycles until the mid-1950s, they offer a modern vehicle concept
and the comfort of a chassis with rear suspension.
The model family is rich in elegant shapes and striking characters: the portfolio extends from slim chopper style to
massive cruiser look to stylish touring design.
Viewed from the side, a Softail looks like a motorcycle without rear suspension.
In fact, the Softail frame has a central spring strut hidden from the viewer's eye under the seat, which ensures modern chassis comfort that is completely up to date.
The model-specific 16, 18, 19 or 21 inch front wheels are guided by a telescopic fork that works with Showa Dual Bending Valve technology.
An upside-down telescopic fork is used on the Sport Glide, the Fat Bob models and the new FXDR 114.

Depending on the model, the Softail types are air-cooled Milwaukee-Eight Big Twins with 1745 cm3 (107 cui; up to 64 kW (87 hp) and up to 145 Nm) or 1868 cm3 (114 cui; up to 69 kW (94 hp) and up to 160 Nm) displacement, which are rigidly connected to the frame.
They have double ignition, two balance shafts to dampen their vibrations, four valves per cylinder
(ohv), an oil-cooled exhaust area and an electronic throttle control (Electronic Throttle Control), which makes Bowden cables unnecessary.

Cruise Drive six-speed transmission
A smooth-running, mechanically operated oil bath clutch establishes the power connection to the transmission. The gearbox is the Cruise Drive six-speed transmission, which ensures powerful pulling power in the lower gears and relaxed gliding at low speeds in the highest gear. The forces are transferred to the 16 or 18-inch rear wheel, depending on the model, via a robust, carbon fiber-reinforced secondary timing belt.

With anti-lock braking system as standard
The braking systems of all Softail models benefit from the standard anti-lock braking system, which is discreetly integrated into the look of the machines. Two brake discs (Fat Bob models and FXDR 114: three brake discs) are used as standard.
Depending on the model, the driver's feet rest on centrally mounted or forward footrests or on running boards.
Standard security system with immobilizer, alarm system and keyless ignition systems
As standard, every Softail has the security system with an immobilizer and an alarm system that automatically activate and deactivate when the driver moves away from the motorcycle or approaches it. Thanks to the Keyless Ignition System, no ignition key is required to start the engine. Instead, all you need to do is press the starter.
