Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase touring bike at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for effortless high-speed highway cruising and long-distance touring with a bold, custom aesthetic.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial wet weight demands confident strength and balance during slow maneuvers, parking, and U-turns.
CharacterA premium, factory-custom bagger that blends big V-twin torque, chrome styling, and long-haul comfort for riders who want to make a statement on the open road.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban commuting.

2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Custom Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 676mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Custom, 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.
