Does anybody know how much horsepower the new TC96 engines has?

Harley never posts its hp figures, just torque. From what I understand it will have about 90-92 ft/lbs of torque.

The horsepower figures I've read in Motorcycle Comsumer News, Cycle World and others usually give a stock twincam 88 about 62-65 hp. I'm guessing the 96 puts out maybe 70-72 hp.

 

I agree, the engine was not rely bore bigger, it has a longer stroke. It might be close to 76-78 HP.

 

Damn, and I'm bustin' my wallet to eek high 80's HP and TQ from my 98 Dyno-saur Wide Glide! Oh well, I've always had "old school" leanings. Things that are "brand new" just never appeal to me.

 

Ya but your bike probably sounds a lot better than a new stock bike. [sm=biker.gif]

 

the stealer told me only 2-4 more horses than the 88. You tell me.

 

The stock TC 88 in Germany produces 73 HP in the Street Bob. My 95 cui with modified aircleaner and exhaust produces 82 HP. So i thought the TC 96 with the active intake and exhaust will produce more horsepower than mine. Thanks for your input.

Someone just posted the formula not to long ago. Horse power
is a result of Torque at a given RPM. I think at 3000 RPM the
96" is around 8-10 HP more.

Take a look at the new book. 2 to 4 horses is optimistic.

To paraphrase a Master Card ad:

Ultra Classic: $20,000
95" Big Bore Stage II: $1500
Watching all the folks on BRAND NEW "upgraded" 96" engines fall behind you: Priceless

 

my bike was dynoed showing 80 hp but big deal... who cares... I JUST want to have the abiltiy to pull away
from the ****** who tailgates me from time to time
on another note my buddy has a victory with the 100 cubic inches and he likes to rub that in
my answer to him is nobody mistakes my bike for a "metric or jap bike " [sm=icon_sneaky.gif]
