The Dyna is dead, long live the Softail.
Harley-Davidson recently killed off its Dyna line to flesh out the Softail family, debuting eight all-new motorcycles that now share a lighter, stiffer chassis with a tightly packaged rear monoshock suspension. The most dramatically restyled Softail model is the Fat Bob.
From its bronze two-to-one-and-back exhaust to its oval “Daymaker” LED headlight, the Bob’s design is unquestionably polarizing but typically gets positive reactions from passersby. The new Fat Bob’s handling is far superior to its predecessor’s with a racing-style cartridge front fork and hidden high-performance rear mono-shock, and even though our Fat Bob had the smaller of the two available Milwaukee-Eight V-twin engines—107 vs 114 cubic inches—the bike never struggled to pull away from a stoplight and leave the street smoking.
There are eight new bikes in Harley's latest line-up: the Fat Bob, Fat Boy, Street Bob, Low Rider, Softail Slim, Deluxe, Breakout, Heritage Softail Classic.
