The 2013 Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback is the ultimate hybrid cruiser, offering the perfect blend of touring versatility and classic Harley styling. Designed for riders who want the freedom of both a touring bike and a nimble cruiser, the Switchback’s innovative design allows you to convert effortlessly from a long-distance tourer with saddlebags and windshield to a sleek cruiser in minutes.
Powered by the Twin Cam 103 V-twin engine with 103 cubic inches (~1,690 cc) of displacement, this bike delivers smooth, responsive performance and approximately 100 ft-lbs of torque. Its 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission and belt final drive ensure effortless acceleration and reliable highway cruising, while the Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) keeps the engine running efficiently.
The Switchback’s lightweight Dyna chassis and dual rear shocks provide nimble handling without sacrificing comfort. Front and rear disc brakes offer strong stopping power, and the adjustable rear suspension ensures a smooth ride for both short trips and extended journeys. With a wheelbase of 62.8 inches, a low seat height of 27.4 inches, and wet weight of approximately 718 lbs, this bike is accessible to a wide range of riders.
Touring-ready features include detachable hard saddlebags, a quick-release windshield, and full-length rider footboards, making it comfortable for long-distance rides. Classic styling cues such as full fenders, a chrome headlight nacelle, mini-ape handlebars, and a one-piece two-up seat combine to deliver iconic Harley-Davidson appeal. Optional security packages, ABS, and modern conveniences like the Engine Idle Temperature Management System provide added safety and comfort.
The 2013 Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback is ideal for riders seeking versatility, power, and style in one package—a bike that can handle weekend cruisers, daily rides, or extended touring with ease.
