Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase touring motorcycle at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance highway touring in maximum comfort with premium creature comforts rather than for speed or sportiness.
Rider FitRequires decent strength and confidence to muscle around at parking-lot speeds, though the low seat height and relaxed riding position ease long-haul fatigue.
CharacterA luxurious, torque-rich cruiser icon that rewards relaxed, unhurried riding with big V-twin character and premium CVO styling and tech.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, quick-handling machine.

2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 706mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic Electra 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.
