Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a rigid-frame, springer-front custom chopper that demands deliberate, low-speed handling skills.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, show-worthy custom cruiser for style-driven boulevard riding and event appearances rather than performance or utility.
Rider FitThe long wheelbase, raked-out springer front end, and rigid rear demand a strong, engaged riding style since there is no rear suspension to absorb bumps.
CharacterIt has the raw, stripped-down soul of a hand-built American V-twin chopper, prioritizing visual drama and attitude over refinement or comfort.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, off-road capability, or nimble, high-speed cornering performance.

2009 Flyrite Choppers Reach For The Sky Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 610mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Flyrite Choppers Reach For The Sky, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
