Engine and Performance: Power to Perform
At the core of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic V-twin engine. This 117 cubic inch engine is specifically designed to deliver consistent power across a wide range of speeds. With a compression ratio of 10.3:1, the engine utilizes Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) for efficient fuel management, contributing to optimal engine performance.
The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine produces 98 horsepower at 4600 rpm and 120 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm. The two-into-one exhaust system, crafted with a lightweight acoustic material, maximizes exhaust flow, enhancing the engine's overall performance while generating a distinctive, deep rumble.
This powertrain is coupled with a 6-speed cruise drive transmission, which provides smooth gear shifts. A chain drive with a 34/46 ratio ensures efficient power transfer from the engine to the wheels.
Suspension and Handling: Engineered for Comfort and Control
The suspension system of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® is designed to offer optimal comfort and performance without compromising the bike’s handling. The front suspension features a dual-bending valve 49 mm telescopic fork. This system uses an aluminum fork triple clamp and dual-rate springs.
For the rear, the bike uses a hidden, free-piston, coil-over monoshock with a 43 mm stroke and cam-style preload adjustment. This rear shock setup allows the rider to adjust for different load requirements and road conditions.
Design: A Focus on Simplicity and Functionality
The design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® reflects its functional approach to motorcycling. The frame maintains the sleek, bobber-style silhouette that is characteristic of Harley-Davidson®'s traditional offerings. The bike features a slim 3.5-gallon fuel tank. The front wheel is 19 inches, and the rear wheel is 16 inches, enhancing the bike’s low-profile bobber design.
Available in blacked-out cast Annihilator wheels or new tubeless laced wheels, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® combines aesthetic appeal with functional durability. The bike’s paint options feature a "stretched diamond" black-and-chrome tank medallion, an updated version of Willie G.’s original 1966 design.
The mini-ape handlebars are positioned for comfort and control, ensuring that the rider maintains an upright posture without straining their arms. The compact rear fender, in combination with the slim fuel tank, contributes to the bike’s overall lightweight, easy-to-handle design.
Technology and Instrumentation: Rider-Focused Enhancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® integrates modern technological features that enhance the riding experience. The bike is equipped with a 4-inch multifunction display that incorporates an analog speedometer and a digital LCD screen. The screen provides essential data such as ride modes, fuel level, odometer, and traction control settings. It also includes features for controlling other systems such as heated gear, ABS, and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System).
The hand controls have been updated to improve ergonomics. The USB-C charging port ensures that mobile devices can stay powered.
Another significant upgrade is the inclusion of Harley-Davidson®'s Rider Safety Enhancements. This suite of technologies helps the rider maintain control in various conditions. The systems include Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS), Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS), and Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS).
Brakes and Wheels: Reliable Stopping Power
For braking, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® features a 4-piston fixed front caliper and a 2-piston floating rear caliper.
