Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable with a rigid-frame custom that has no rear suspension and demands deliberate, low-speed handling.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, head-turning custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and show use rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitThe low single seat and long, stretched stance favor taller riders, while the rigid rear end transmits every bump directly to the rider's back and hips.
CharacterA raw, old-school hardtail chopper with a big Evolution V-twin thump, springer front end, and unapologetic attitude over refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking comfort, passenger capability, long-distance touring, or agile cornering performance.

2011 Covingtons Speedster 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 Speedster, 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.
