Rider Profile

Best ForThis trike suits experienced riders or those transitioning from cars who want the stability of three wheels without needing to balance a traditional motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance highway touring in maximum comfort, with no pretense of sport riding or off-road capability.
Rider FitIts heavy weight and low seat height make it easy to manage at a stop despite the bulk, since there's no need to hold up the machine at rest like a two-wheeler.
CharacterA stately, cruiser-styled three-wheeled tourer that prioritizes relaxed, planted highway comfort over speed or nimbleness.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking cornering thrills, quick agility in traffic, or any kind of off-road adventure.

2018 Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary Tri Glide Ultra Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 735mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary Tri Glide Ultra, 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.
