Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for premium long-distance highway touring with strong torque for effortless overtaking and mile-after-mile cruising comfort.
Rider FitRiders should be reasonably tall or strong-armed, as the low seat height helps at stops but the near-400kg wet weight demands confident handling when maneuvering off the throttle.
CharacterA status-driven, premium cruiser for riders who want big V-twin torque, top-shelf finish, and a commanding highway presence rather than outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight city streets, twisty backroads, or any kind of off-road use.

2020 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
