HARLEY DAVIDSON usually has quirky names for its bikes, like Fat Boy, or the latest, Fat Bob. However, the characteristics of this bike are nothing as the names suggest. The size of the 2019 Fat Bob might put some chill down your spine. It appears that the bike was designed keeping World War III or a Zombie Apocalypse in mind. The flamboyant exhaust pipes are the first elements that catch your attention. Though skinny on the inside, the cover gives the exhaust a neat classic look. The modern look is delivered by the LED headlamp and the instrument cluster which houses a digital speedometer and an analogue rev meter. The way the handlebars taper on the compact and stunning Fat Bob gives the bike a more elegant look. The paint job and the added finishes on the Bob compliment its overall modern-classic look, staying true to Harley Davidson heritage.
COMFORT
RIDER comfort is probably the most debated subject when it comes to bikes. The cruiser bikes often come with an option to adjust the handlebar, and in most of them, the footpegs and seat can also be adjusted. In the case of Bob, it's quite handy to adjust the handlebars to suit the height of the rider. The seat is well-designed and cushioned, which make long journeys comfortable. Speaking of the handlebar, the mirror placement is quite off in the new 2019 Fat Bob. The rider can just see their arms in it, and nothing else.
The bike brings an immense amount of confidence even when riding on rough roads because of the large 150-section tyre (which is 25 per cent broader than any other road bike) on the front. However, manoeuvring between traffic is slightly laboured and cumbersome. The LED headlamp is neat and the design is unique. It does compliment the overall design language of the bike. Unlike its older variants, it performs well at night, highlighting the road ahead of you.
