Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, low-slung custom cruisers and their unique low-speed handling quirks.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique custom show-and-go cruiser, it's designed for style, presence, and low-speed torque rather than outright performance or long-distance capability.
Rider FitThe very low 620mm seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, though the custom cruiser stance and weight demand confident low-speed control.
CharacterIt has the raw, torquey, carbureted V-twin character of an American custom, delivering feel and sound over refinement or high-rev excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road ability, or a comfortable two-up long-distance tourer.

2012 Covingtons Tangerine Dream Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 620mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Covingtons Tangerine Dream, 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.
