Overview[edit | edit source]
Harley Davidson FXDR 114 Softail
The new Harley-Davidson® FXDR 114 motorcycle delivers moto-aggression with a technical edge. Like a drag racer crossed with a fighter jet, this unapologetic power cruiser brings a new level of all-out performance to the Harley-Davidson line-up. The FXDR 114 combines the unrelenting power of the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine with the liberal use of new weight-saving aluminum and composite components. Every aspect of handling and performance is amplified. This motorcycle is really a blast to ride, said David Latz, Lead Product Manager at Harley-Davidson. The FXDR 114 surrounds the very capable Softail® chassis with Milwaukee-Eight 114 power, premium front and rear suspension and a host of new weight-saving components and materials. This is a power cruiser that delivers exceptional ride and handling characteristics. Less than a month after announcing plans for future product in new-to-the-brand categories and a commitment to advance its heavyweight Touring and Cruiser models, the Motor Company introduces the FXDR 114 as the 10th Harley-Davidson model based on the Softail® platform.
Focus on Weight Reduction
The aluminum swingarm achieves a
10.2-pound weight reduction (13.8 pounds vs. 24 pounds, or 43 percent less) over
a steel Softail swingarm accommodating a 240 mm rear tire. Because the unsprung
weight (weight located below the suspension) it has a significant impact on rear
suspension performance, enhanced further by a lightweight 18-inch-diameter
aluminum disc rear wheel. The 19-inch forged aluminum Ace front wheel is a
light-weight design that features very thin spokes. The FXDR 114 seat and tail
section are supported by a sub-frame of welded aluminum tubing, and the tail
section is composite. This replaces a steel subframe, steel rear fender and
aluminum fender supports used on other Softail models, for a weight savings of
about seven pounds. Front and rear fenders are lightweight composite material.
Styled at the Strip
The FXDR communicates its
commitment to all-out performance through visual design inspired at the drag
strip, where the application of torque to pavement is sophisticated in its
execution.
The look of the FXDR 114
expresses its performance potential and highlights the technical features that
set it apart from the rest of the Softail line-up, said Brad Richards, Vice
President of Styling and Design. The drag-bike influence is strong with the
raked and inverted front end, massive intake and exhaust, proportional contrast
between the wheels, and the clipped tail section. But we made sure that purely
technical elements like the aluminum swingarm, fully integrated digital
instrumentation within the rider controls, and exposed external suspension
adjuster are highlighted as well and help define this bikes mission, which is
pure performance, not just straight-line performance.
A speed screen frames the LED
headlamp and helps breaks the wind, while a stretched 4.4-gallon fuel tank
exclusive to the FXDR 114 lengthens the profile of the motorcycle. A
race-inspired chin fairing conceals much of the oil cooler. The tail section is
clipped short in drag bike/stunter style to expose the 240mm rear tire. A solo
seat flows seamlessly into the tail section. A cover on the top of the tail
section can be removed to reveal a storage compartment within the subframe.
A molded composite rear fender is
shaped to hug the tire and moves with it through the range of the suspension, so
it becomes almost invisible when the FXDR 114 is in motion. A rear lighting
module and license plate fixture is secured to an aluminum spar mounted to the
left side of the swingarm, leaving the right side of the rear wheel dramatically
exposed. The front and rear wheel are finished in contrast Gloss Black and Satin
Black paint and detailed with bright bolt heads and laser-etched orange
graphics in the rims.
Dynamic Chassis
A strong-and-rigid Softail
chassis tuned to deliver responsive handling will reward assertive riders with
thrilling agility when riding through twisting backroads and navigating
congested urban traffic. The FXDR 114 features the Softail monoshock rear
suspension with a single coil-over shock with internal free-piston technology
and optimized angle between the frame and swingarm for enhanced travel and
response. The shock is equipped with an external hydraulic pre-load adjustment
knob to allow the rider to quickly and easily dial in optimal suspension
performance for the prevailing load and conditions. Inverted 43mm forks stiffen
the front end for improved response to steering input. Single-cartridge internal
fork damping technology and a triple-rate spring respond quickly to inputs to
help keep the front wheel planted for improved braking and handling performance.
The FXDR 114 offers more lean angle than any other Softail model 32.6 degrees
to the left and 32.8 degrees to the right.
The dual 300mm front disc brakes
provide strong braking performance with less lever effort. A
confidence-inspiring Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is standard equipment on the
FXDR 114. High-performance Michelin® Scorcher® 11 front (120mm) and rear (240mm)
tires contribute to optimized handling and braking performance. Secured by the
deep solo seat, the rider grips aluminum clip-on handlebars in an athletic
position over the tank. Information is presented by a compact digital display
located within the speed screen.
Milwaukee-Eight Muscle
The FXDR 114 is equipped with the
most-powerful engine offered in the Softail chassis, a Milwaukee-Eight 114
V-Twin tuned to pound out up to 119 ft. lb. of torque at 3500 rpm (U.S. model).
The shape of the forward-facing air intake is inspired by the World Champion
Screamin Eagle/Vance & Hines drag bikes and designed to enhance the airflow
into the engine. The exposed air filter utilizes a new synthetic media that does
not require oiling. A new 2-into-1 exhaust is tuned to emit a throaty rumble and
shaped to maximize lean angle. Advanced four-valve cylinder head design, dual
knock sensors, and precision oil cooling permit a 10.0:1 compression ratio for
strong torque output and thrilling acceleration from off-idle to wide-open
throttle. The engine is rigid-mounted to further stiffen a Softail chassis
engineered to deliver precise response to steering and braking input. Dual
counter-balancers cancel primary vibration at idle for improved rider comfort.
Riders craving even more power
can upgrade the FXDR 114 with street-legal performance parts from
Harley-Davidson® Genuine Motor Accessories, including a Screamin Eagle Titanium
Performance slip-on muffler that weighs 50 percent less than the stock muffler
and produces an appealing, aggressive tone. Installation of the muffler achieves
a Screamin Eagle Stage I performance upgrade when combined with a Screamin
Eagle Air Cleaner Kit and the Screamin Eagle Pro Street Tuner. Stage I is the
foundation for available Screamin Eagle Stage II, Stage III and Stage IV kits
that can take Milwaukee-Eight 114 performance through the roof, with the
assurance of an intact factory warranty when installed by an authorized
Harley-Davidson dealer.
Complete LED lighting, including
a Daymaker LED headlamp with LED signature halo plus LED rear lighting and LED
turn signals, make the FXDR 114 more conspicuous in traffic and offer optimal
lighting performance. Keyless ignition, the Harley-Davidson Smart Security
System and a USB charging port are standard equipment.
The FXDR 114 is available in six
color choices: Vivid Black, Black Denim, Industrial Gray Denim, Wicked Red
Denim, Bonneville Salt Denim, and Rawhide Denim.
In 2019, the FXDR 114 will
provide inspiration for the bodywork of the racing competition motorcycles
campaigned by the world champion Harley-Davidson Screamin Eagle/Vance & Hines
racing team in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.
