Harley-Davidson Debuts PowerPak 103

103 Cubic Inches Plus

Debuting on the 2011 Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles, the PowerPak feature combines the new big-bore Twin Cam 103 engine with Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) and the H-D Smart Security System.

It’s a standard feature on the 2011 Road King Classic, Electra Glide Ultra Limited, and Road Glide Ultra machines, and will be available as a factory-installed option on the 2011 Street Glide and Road Glide Custom models.

Harley-Davidson PowerPak Features:

• The Twin Cam 103 is rated at 102 ft. lbs. of torque at 3500 rpm, a 9.6-percent increase in peak torque over the Twin Cam 96 engine it replaces, extra power for enhanced passing and hill-climbing performance when a passenger and luggage are on board.

• Harley-Davidson’s Touring ABS works in conjunction with high-performance Brembo brakes to help the rider maintain control during braking events, especially those that happen in less-than-optimal conditions.

• The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS are tucked away, preserving the uncluttered styling of the area around the wheels. Harley-Davidson’s ABS is not a linked system, meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of both front and rear brakes.

• The H-D Smart Security System offers automatic self-arming and disarming through the Hands Free Fob, which communicates directly with the security module on an individualized frequency.

• When the rider switches off the ignition and leaves the proximity of the motorcycle, Smart Security System disables the vehicle starter, ignition and electronic fuel injection (EFI).

• Any Touring model not equipped with PowerPak may be ordered with ABS and the H-D Smart Security System bundled together as a single factory-installed option. These items will no longer be offered as separate options.

Below are the engine differences between the 96ci and the new 103ci.

Like the standard Twin Cam 96, the PowerPak Twin Cam 103 uses traditional pushrod-operated, overhead valves with hydraulic, self-adjusting lifters, two valves per cylinder and Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection.
