Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine for seasoned, confident riders who understand big-torque V-twins and premium suspension components.
Purpose	Built as an exotic, limited-production power-cruiser/naked hybrid meant to deliver visceral American V-twin performance with race-bred chassis capability.
Rider Fit	A low seat height aids confidence at stops but the wide torque delivery, weight, and aggressive brakes demand a physically engaged, attentive rider.
Character	The Heretic suits someone who wants exclusivity and handcrafted engineering over mainstream branding, with a taste for bold styling and mechanical theater.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not for beginners, budget-conscious buyers, or anyone seeking a practical commuter or long-distance touring companion.

2013 Ecosse Heretic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 698mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Ecosse Heretic, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
