Meanwhile, its classy Softail frame is noticeable from the side, enhanced by blacked-out Annihilator cast aluminum wheels (front: 19-inch, rear: 16-inch) wrapped in Dunlop Harley-Davidson Series bias blackwall tyres, as well as Harley-Davidson’s iconic 2-into-2 exhaust setup. Bright branding decals also add more detail to its overall silhouette on the road. 

Moreover, its rear looks classic and uncluttered. It gets a sleek rear fender, a rectangular LED tail light, and another pair of incandescent bullet turn signal lights.

In terms of suspension, the Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 comes with 49-mm telescopic dual-bending valve with aluminum fork triple clamps at the front and a 43-mm hidden, free piston, coil-over monoshock with a cam-style preload adjustment at the rear. This cruiser confidently handles sharp turns and challenging corners while delivering great stability and control. Although it may not offer the plushest ride quality in its class, this cruiser still offers light and agile maneuverability both in the city and on the highway.

It overtakes slower vehicles and motorcycles confidently and is capable of taking on steep rural inclines. The rider will also be able to perform upshifts and downshifts smoothly on this motorcycle, thanks to its responsive transmission.

And while it excels on open roads, the Street Bob 114 remains easy enough to manage in the city and offers decent fuel economy for its displacement. That said, it is one of the more practical Harley-Davidson models that can be used for daily urban commuting.

In terms of braking, the Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 is equipped with front and rear solid, uniform expansion rotors, which are supported by an anti-lock braking system. Its braking setup also comes with a 4-piston fixed caliper at the front and a 2-piston floating caliper at the rear.
