Along with other updated models, Harley-Davidson has updated the prices for the 2025 Fatboy in India. The motorcycle now retails for INR 25.90 lakh.
Engine and performance
The 2025 Fat Boy continues with the powerful 114 ci Milwaukee‑Eight V‑Twin engine, delivering 90 hp and 152 Nm of torque. It offers strong low‑end grunt that fits the cruiser DNA and matches torque-rich competitors like the Triumph Bobber (79 Nm) and Indian Chief Dark Horse (147 Nm). The six-speed transmission remains smooth and easy to use.
New Fat Boy Styling and build
Harley has retained the iconic Fat Boy silhouette: fat front fork, solid disc wheels, and sculpted tank. The fresh matte black seat motif and new color options—from Vivid Black to custom two‑tone finishes—add flair. A sleek LED headlamp and updated LED rear lamp bring modern style without losing tradition.
Chassis and handling
The Fat Boy maintains its fat‑tyre stance with 160 mm front and 180 mm rear rubber. Suspension uses inverted forks and dual rear shocks tuned for stability and rider comfort. It handles suburban roads and highways with ease. Ground clearance stays modest, true to cruiser form, but the riding position feels natural and relaxed for long hauls.
2025 Fat Boy tech and rider aids
2025 brings a customizable 4.3‑inch digital dash, replacing the analogue gauge. It displays trip info, gear position, ride mode, and turn‑by‑turn navigation via optional Bluetooth. Rider aids include cornering ABS, traction control, and selectable ride modes (Rain, Road, Custom). These mirror features on Triumph’s Bobber and Indian’s Dark Horse, adding safety without spoiling the cruiser experience.
