Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds.
Purpose	Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and custom style rather than outright performance or distance-eating touring.
Rider Fit	The low 680mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial 307kg wet weight demands confident strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
Character	A classic Dyna big-twin with a raked-out front end and wide bars that delivers strong low-end torque and unmistakable Harley V-twin presence.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or long-haul touring comfort with a passenger.

At 754mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1996 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.
