USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob is a significant departure from its predecessors, and it has certainly made a strong impression. Riding this bike, I felt a noticeable boost in aggression and performance, thanks to its new frame, swingarm, engine, suspension, and aesthetic upgrades. The Fat Bob handles exceptionally well, with a riding position that strikes a good balance between comfort and aggression. The dual front discs provide solid braking power, and the bikes ability to corner, though not as sharp as some sport bikes, is impressive for a cruiser. Overall, its a great example of how Harley-Davidson can create a modern motorcycle that still retains the classic Harley charm.
Price
In India, the 2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob was priced around 14.7 lakh ex-showroom. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to approximately 17-18 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the Fat Bob as a premium offering in the Indian market, reflecting its enhanced performance, refined ride quality, and the brands reputation for quality and style. For those looking to invest in a high-performance cruiser with a unique blend of power and comfort, the Fat Bobs price is justified by its superior features and riding experience.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 04:52 PM When it comes to mileage, the 2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob is not designed for fuel efficiency but for performance. You can expect around 10-12 kml in city riding conditions and slightly better on the highway. While this may not be ideal for those prioritizing fuel economy, the Fat Bobs mileage is reasonable considering its powerful 107ci or 114ci V-twin engine. If youre looking for a bike that offers a thrilling ride and are willing to compromise a bit on fuel efficiency, the Fat Bob is a solid choice.
