Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike for highly experienced riders who are confident managing huge power delivered through an unconventional chassis and a massive 240-section rear tire.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique, low-volume power-cruiser/naked hybrid, it exists to deliver visceral V2 performance and sculptural design rather than practicality.
Rider FitThe low 724mm seat height is approachable, but the 215.5kg weight combined with a wide rear tire and aggressive geometry demands strength and precision at low speed.
CharacterIt's a raw, mechanical, torque-heavy machine that rewards deliberate, muscular riding inputs over flickable, effortless handling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a bike for new riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone seeking a practical long-distance touring companion.

2019 Curtiss Zeus Cafe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 724mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Curtiss Zeus Cafe, 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.
