HARLEY-DAVIDSON Fat Boy S (2016-2017) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2016, the American motorcycle maker launched the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy S, a cruiser machine derived from the Standard Fat Boy. The S model was a most aggressive version of the Fat Boy's range, with a dark look and a Screamin' Eagle engine that delivered more power.

The bike rolled on bullet-hole full-disc aluminum wheels with satin-chromed rims and fat tires covered by black-finished valanced fenders. Compared to other versions of the Fat Boy, the Fat Boy S was the most darker.

The bike packed a completely blacked-out fork on the front with a black headlight housing and handlebar. In the middle, the black-finished components included the fuel tank with the integrated instrument panel, the engine with polished cooling fins, and black covers. On the rear, it packed a black fender, black leather seats, and an exhaust system.

In the performance department, the 2016 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy S packed a 1,801cc Twin Cam 110B Screamin' Eagle engine with an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, delivering excellent power, fast acceleration, smooth throttle control and 146 NM (108 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm.

The bike's suspension was handled by a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a hidden horizontal-mounted shock absorber on the rear that created a classic hardtail design, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

The 2016 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy S was for sale in 2023 (at the time of writing), with a price ranging from $14,500 to $17,000.
