Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine for experienced riders who understand big-inch V-twin power delivery and can manage a light, aggressive chassis with serious brakes and premium suspension.
Purpose	Built as a boutique, limited-edition performance naked, it exists to blend American V-twin character with race-bred handling for spirited road and canyon riding.
Rider Fit	A relatively low seat height paired with a compact, sporty riding position suits confident riders comfortable with a firm, hands-forward stance rather than an upright cruiser posture.
Character	The Heretic is a bold, individualistic statement bike for someone who wants exclusivity, craftsmanship, and thunderous torque wrapped in a track-capable chassis.
Not Ideal For	It's not a good fit for new riders, commuters wanting practicality, or anyone seeking a comfortable long-distance touring companion.

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 The 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.
