Rider Profile

Best For	This suits an intermediate to experienced rider who wants a torquey, characterful V-twin with sharp handling rather than outright refinement.
Purpose	It is best described as a street-biased adventure-styled roadster, more at home carving twisty tarmac and light gravel roads than serious off-roading.
Rider Fit	The tall-ish seat height, wide bars, and firm but adjustable suspension demand reasonable rider confidence and some strength when maneuvering at low speed off-road.
Character	It has a raw, mechanical personality with strong low-end torque, aggressive brakes, and quirky Buell engineering touches like the fuel-in-frame design and unique ZTL front brake.
Not Ideal For	It is not a good fit for riders seeking plush long-distance comfort, true off-road capability, or a smooth, refined, low-maintenance ownership experience.

Units

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

Feet:

At 859mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2010 Buell XB12X Ulysses, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
