Rider FitRiders should be reasonably tall and strong enough to handle its substantial weight when maneuvering at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterIt suits a rider who values classic American cruiser style, plush comfort, and exclusive premium finishes over outright cornering agility.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight canyon roads or any kind of off-road use.

2017 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
