Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with some experience handling a heavy, torque-driven cruiser rather than absolute beginners.
PurposeBuilt for muscular, blacked-out boulevard cruising and short punchy rides rather than outright speed or distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 685mm seat height helps shorter riders, but the near-300kg mass demands confident low-speed control and upper body strength at a stop.
CharacterA brash, torque-heavy street cruiser with aggressive styling that rewards throttle-happy riding over precision cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or long-haul touring comfort with a passenger.

2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 685mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider S, 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.
