Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and long-haul touring with strong torque delivery rather than outright speed.
Rider FitA tall or physically confident rider will feel most at ease handling its substantial weight, low seat height helping at stops but requiring effort during slow maneuvers and U-turns.
CharacterA premium, chrome-laden CVO cruiser that rewards laid-back throttle-rolling torque over aggressive cornering, with strong touring amenities like saddlebags, windshield, and cruise control.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2015 Harley-Davidson CVO Softail Deluxe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 655mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Harley-Davidson CVO Softail Deluxe, 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.
