Rider Profile

Best ForBest for experienced riders comfortable managing 680 lb of low-slung muscle; the torque and weight reward a confident hand, not a first-timer.
PurposeA boulevard power-cruiser built for straight-line stance and lazy torque-fed cruising, boulevard posing and highway loafing rather than sport riding.
Rider FitVery low 25.6-inch seat, long 66.7-inch wheelbase, stretched-out reach, fat 240 rear tire and heavy steering give a planted, laid-back but hefty feel.
CharacterMuscular, chromed dragster attitude: the Milwaukee-Eight 117 delivers effortless low-end grunt and heavyweight presence with a relaxed, show-off swagger.
Not Ideal ForNot for off-road, tight canyon carving, track days, commuters wanting nimble city agility, or new riders intimidated by weight and reach.

2024 Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 650mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2024 Harley-Davidson Breakout 117, 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.
