Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders or those returning to biking who want a manageable, low-slung cruiser without intimidating power.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising and everyday commuting rather than outright speed or sporty cornering.
Rider FitThe low 640mm seat height and 185kg dry weight make it accessible to shorter riders and easy to handle at low speeds.
CharacterA laid-back, classic cruiser character with modest twin-cylinder power delivered smoothly and predictably.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering performance, or any serious off-road capability.

2023 Hanway B40 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 640mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Hanway B40, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright 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.
