Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine is best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, powerful, novelty-engineered trike rather than a conventional motorcycle.
PurposeIt exists to deliver outrageous straight-line V8 muscle-car performance and show-stopping presence in a three-wheeled cruiser format, not for sporty handling.
Rider FitAt 660 kg with a low seat height and trike stability, it's physically manageable at rest and in a straight line but demands strength and awareness at low speed maneuvering.
CharacterA boisterous, attention-grabbing statement bike built around a genuine 6.2L LS3 V8, prioritizing torque, sound, and spectacle over agility.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, traditional motorcycling experience.

2011 Boss Hoss BHC-9 LS3 Trike Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 737mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Boss Hoss BHC-9 LS3 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.
