Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who are specifically comfortable with trikes, as a 6.2-liter V8 delivering 445 hp through a three-wheel chassis demands respect and deliberate throttle control.
PurposeBuilt as a straight-line power statement and boulevard cruiser, it's about massive V8 torque, presence, and novelty rather than any kind of sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 749 mm seat height and trike stability make it accessible to plant feet and balance at rest, but the sheer 680 kg mass and length demand strength and confidence at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
CharacterIt's a showpiece and a thunderous cruiser for someone who wants an unmistakable, car-engine-powered head-turner rather than a conventional motorcycle experience.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking agility, cornering feedback, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.

2017 Boss Hoss BHC-9 Chevy Trike Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 749mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Boss Hoss BHC-9 Chevy Trike, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
