harley davidson street bob 117 Do you remember when Harley-Davidson shut down its Indian operations in 2022? For many bike lovers, it felt like the end of a dream. Models like the Street Bob suddenly vanished, and fans were left disappointed. But here’s the twist—the Street Bob is back in India in a brand-new avatar for 2025, and it’s more powerful than ever.
Design – Classic Bobber DNA with Modern Tweaks
At first glance, the 2025 Street Bob looks familiar, staying true to its American bobber roots. But look closer, and you’ll notice the changes.
- The older blacked-out exhaust has been replaced by a chrome-finish 2-in-1 longtail exhaust.
- It’s available in five bold colors: Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Centerline, Iron Horse Metallic, and Purple Abyss Denim.
- The bike still carries the mini ape-hanger handlebars and a bobbed-style rear fender, but it now features a new “stretched-diamond” black-chrome medallion for added character.
Engine and Performance – Stronger Than Before
The new Street Bob is powered by a 1,923cc V-Twin, air/oil-cooled engine. Here’s what it delivers:
- Power: 91.18 bhp at 5020 rpm
- Torque: 156 Nm at just 2750 rpm
Even though it carries a small 13.2-liter fuel tank, the Street Bob still weighs a hefty 293 kg (kerb). Surprisingly though, it’s still the lightest model in Harley’s 117CI line-up. That balance of power and weight makes it both muscular and manageable.
Suspension duties are handled by a 49mm telescopic fork at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. The 19-inch front and 16-inch rear spoked wheels add to the retro charm, while disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS ensure safety.
Features That Matter
Beyond the raw engine and iconic looks, Harley has packed the Street Bob with rider-focused features:
- Three riding modes for different conditions
- Drag-Torque Slip Control to prevent wheel lock-ups
- Traction Control for stability
- Cruise Control for long rides
Dual-channel ABS for confident braking
