Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from intermediate upward who want a classic torque-heavy V-twin cruiser without excessive weight or complexity.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed street cruising and boulevard presence rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitLow 680mm seat height and moderate 305kg wet weight make it manageable for shorter riders, though its length and cruiser geometry require deliberate low-speed handling.
CharacterA stripped-down, bobber-styled Dyna with a punchy air-cooled Twin Cam 103 engine that delivers strong low-rev torque and a raw, traditional Harley feel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a plush long-haul touring platform.

2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob, 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.
