Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some prior motorcycling experience who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds.
Purpose	Designed as a light touring cruiser, blending classic Dyna styling with saddlebags and a windscreen for weekend getaways and highway cruising.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and relaxed foot-forward stance suit shorter and average-height riders, though the substantial dry weight demands confident handling at parking-lot speeds.
Character	A laid-back, torque-driven V-twin cruiser that rewards relaxed throttle-rolling rides over aggressive cornering or high-rev thrills.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or outright top-end speed.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 695mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback, 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.
