Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with big, heavy V-twin cruisers, since the long wheelbase and steep rake demand confident low-speed handling.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, custom-styled cruiser meant for boulevard cruising and image-driven riding rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 622 mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight and stretched-out fat-tyre stance require some upper body strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-driven big-inch V-twin character with a raw, custom hot-rod attitude rather than sharp responsiveness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a machine optimized for long-haul touring comfort.

2011 Big Dog Coyote Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 622mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Big Dog Coyote, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
