Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance highway cruising with full weather protection and creature comforts rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA tall, wide, and heavy machine that rewards a confident stance and decent upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvers, though its low seat height and torquey engine ease everyday handling.
CharacterA classic American touring bagger with a big, torque-rich V-twin thump, chrome-laden styling, and a relaxed, unhurried riding demeanor.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, quick-handling motorcycle.

2010 Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 693mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic, 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.
