Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginners and casual riders who want a light, low-stress machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's built as a stylish, minimalist urban runabout for short hops and cafe cruising rather than performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a charming, retro-styled personality with a lazy single-cylinder thump rather than outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or off-road capability.

2016 Cleveland Misfit Gen II Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Cleveland Misfit Gen II, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
