Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing nearly 950 pounds of loaded weight at low speeds and in parking lots.
PurposeBuilt as a premium long-haul touring bike, it excels at devouring interstate miles in comfort with full weather protection, storage, and infotainment.
Rider FitRiders should have decent strength and a lower inseam confidence, as the substantial weight and 720mm seat height demand deliberate, careful handling at a standstill.
CharacterIt suits a rider who values plush comfort, torque-rich cruising, premium finishes, and long-distance touring pedigree over sharp handling or outright speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable feel in tight urban environments.

2018 Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary CVO Limited Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary CVO Limited, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
