Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine is best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable handling a heavy, wide, three-wheeled vehicle with car-like straight-line power but none of the lean-in agility of a traditional motorcycle.
PurposeIt exists as a rolling spectacle and straight-line power statement, built around a genuine V8 automotive engine dropped into a custom trike chassis rather than as a practical all-rounder.
Rider FitThe low 749 mm seat height and automatic transmission make it physically easy to mount and operate at low speed, but the sheer width and mass demand confident, deliberate low-speed maneuvering.
CharacterIt has the soul of a hot-rod muscle car fused with a cruiser silhouette, delivering effortless V8 torque, a deep exhaust note, and a laid-back automatic driving experience rather than sportbike engagement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders wanting cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble two-wheeled experience.

2017 Boss Hoss BHC-9 Coupe 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 Coupe Trike, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
