Expert opinion and recommendation

The Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback is a versatile and compelling motorcycle that blends the best of both worlds the agility of a cruiser and the comfort of a tourer. From my experience, the Switchback excels in ergonomics, with its low 27.4-inch seat height and well-positioned floorboards, making it accessible and comfortable for a wide range of riders. The bikes handling is neutral and responsive, allowing for confident cornering and stable cruising. However, the single front disc brake, though adequate, could benefit from additional stopping power, especially when fully loaded. The suspension, while firm and effective in corners, can be harsh on bumpy roads. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Switchbacks ability to transform from a sleek cruiser to a capable tourer with its quick-detach hard bags and windshield makes it a standout in its class.

For the 2024 Harley-Davidson Touring models and CVOs, Harley-Davidson has introduced the new Switchback series seats. These seats, available in U Stitch and Red Stitch designs, offer a blend of style and comfort, similar to what youd find in saddleman seats but with a distinct Harley-Davidson touch. The Red Stitch model is particularly notable for its aggressive look and red stitching. I think these seats will be a hit among Harley enthusiasts looking to upgrade their ride.

The Harley-Davidson Switchback, first introduced in 2012, was designed to combine the style of a cruiser with the comfort of a touring bike. This model features a convertible design with detachable hard bags and a windshield, making it versatile for both city rides and long tours. The Switchback is powered by a 1691cc V-Twin engine, producing 76 hp and 93 lb-ft of torque. I believe this bikes adaptability makes it a great choice for riders of various experience levels.

The Switchbacks engine, a typical Harley-Davidson Twin Cam, delivers power and torque at low revs, making it comfortable for cruising at legal motorway speeds. However, it can vibrate at speeds above or below 70mph, which some riders might find noticeable. I believe this is a minor trade-off for the overall riding experience.

Safety features on the Harley-Davidson Switchback include the option for anti-lock braking system (ABS) brakes, which became standard for all FLD models by 2014. This adds an extra layer of safety, especially when the bike is fully loaded with a passenger. The brakes perform well, though some riders might prefer additional stopping power.

The bikes design allows it to transform from a cool cruiser to a comfortable tourer with the addition of a detachable screen and panniers. This versatility makes it appealing to a wide range of riders, from beginners to experienced tourers. I think this flexibility is one of the Switchbacks strongest selling points.

The mileage of the Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback in India is generally around 15-20 kml, depending on riding conditions and style. This is reasonable for a powerful cruiser with a 103ci engine. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient option, the Switchbacks performance and comfort make it a worthwhile choice for those who prioritize riding experience over fuel economy.
