The new V111 motorcycle engine is designed for torque more than top end horsepower. The short 41/8" stroke is equal to the large 41/8" bore, which minimizes vibration. The relatively low lift S&S 585 cam and the single coil Sidewinder® valve springs minimize valve train noise. A smooth, quiet, torquey engine is ideal for touring applications where vibration and noise can get old on a long ride, and a loaded bagger pulling a trailer can overtax a stock engine.

Although this dyno chart shows a T111 engine, the performance is the same as the V111. Both engines have the same displacement, bore and stroke, cylinder heads, fuel system, and cam grind. Since this is a touring engine, low and midrange torque is the most important attribute. However, the horsepower of these engines is very respectable. |
