Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginners or new riders looking for a lightweight, low-intimidation machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's built for short cruises, casual around-town riding, and enjoying a classic bobber-style aesthetic rather than performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light weight make it very manageable for shorter or smaller riders, and easy to handle at low speeds or when parking.
CharacterIt has old-school cruiser styling with a solo sprung seat, minimalist single-cylinder charm, and a laid-back, unhurried riding feel.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone wanting strong acceleration or high top speed.

2018 Cleveland Iron One Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Cleveland Iron One, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
