Harley-Davidson 1690 DYNA SWITCHBACK FLD 2015

The 103 ci Switchback could look like a bridge between the Dynas and the big Touring models from the Milwaukee manufacturer. Like the ex superb (and very expensive) Convertible, the Switchback takes advantage of the lightness of the Dyna models with a pinch of equipment to venture out on the road while protecting the bust of Mr. while carrying the belongings of Mrs. Its big chrome headlight topped with a removable windshield gives it all the poise of a Road King, while the slender rear looks like a Baby Street Glide. Its hips are a pair of rigid suitcases which are also removable. The American wears chrome aluminum wheels with black spokes.

On the engine side, the Twin Cam 96 has almost disappeared from the range and is replaced, as installed here, by the big 103, very fat and very torquey. However, it is a little less powerful than the majority of the other models equipped with this unit: it provides 126 Nm of torque on the Switchback while 132 Nm is found on a Wide Glide for example. Transmission is obviously by belt, engaged in a 6-speed gearbox. A real little invitation to travel, this Harley will be perfect for those who want to get into the great outdoors but hesitate to afford a Touring (Electra, Street or Road King), more majestic but also more impressive in size. Base price of this Switchback: 17,590 euros.
