Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine demands a confident, experienced rider used to managing enormous torque and a very unconventional three-wheeled chassis rather than typical motorcycle handling.
PurposeBuilt as a novelty V8 muscle trike for straight-line thrills, boulevard cruising, and drawing a crowd rather than for cornering performance or utility.
Rider FitIts long wheelbase, wide rear track, and nearly 700 kg mass mean low-speed maneuvering and parking require real physical effort and planning ahead.
CharacterA brash, high-torque automotive-engine spectacle that trades agility and lean-in cornering for outrageous acceleration and unmistakable presence.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders wanting light, flickable handling, off-road capability, or a discreet, easy-to-store daily commuter.

2016 Boss Hoss BHC-9 Truck 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 2016 Boss Hoss BHC-9 Truck 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.
