Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a custom rigid-frame cruiser best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with minimal suspension and a heavy, low-slung machine at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a show-quality, boulevard cruising custom rather than a practical everyday or performance machine.
Rider FitThe low 622mm seat height makes it easy to plant feet at stops, but the rigid frame with no rear suspension means every bump is felt directly through the seat and spine.
CharacterA bold, chrome-and-red styled American V-twin custom that prioritizes attitude and visual presence over comfort or versatility.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for long highway trips, two-up touring, spirited cornering, or any kind of off-road use.

2011 Covingtons Beach Cruiser Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 622mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Covingtons Beach Cruiser, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
