Features inspired by Harley’s NHRA Team
Harley-Davidson advanced its 100-new-bike agenda in 2019 with the new FXDR 114 that turned the nearly-new Softail into a drag race-inspired stoplight burner. The factory went outside the envelope for design inspiration, with some interesting results that head in an unexpected direction, to say the least. A 114 cubic-inch engine delivers the goods to made the FXDR the most powerful production Softail up for grabs, so you can be assured that it’s by no means an all-show/no-go machine. Plus, an effort to shed some weight to improve handling- and ride-quality, and that translates into even better acceleration to make this a rather sporty, non-Sportster ride.
More on the Harley-Davidson FXDR
In spite of its moniker, this is a Softail through and through,just without the fancy Softail swing-cage in back. The official designation “FXDR,” in years past, would have indicated a Dyna frame with a narrow front end, but the shift in focus to the Softails actually gives this “FXD” the Softail frame.
Out back, an engineered swingarm articulates for the rear wheel and makes no attempt at mimicking the geometry of the old rigid frames. The suspension components are of a sportier nature than you might expect from America’s longest-operating brand, all to attract performance-minded riders who might, in the absence of any alternative, opt for a naked sportbike instead.
Deep lean angles await with over 32 degrees of lean in each direction to make this bike uncommonly eager in the corners relative to the rest of Harley’s lineup. This is in spite of its kicked-out rake angle that helps it track in a crosswind, so it won’t wear you out trying to keep it between the stripes.
