Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase touring bike at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance highway touring with strong torque for effortless overtaking rather than sharp performance riding.
Rider FitIts substantial dry weight and low seat height favor taller, stronger riders who can confidently handle its bulk at stops and in parking maneuvers.
CharacterA premium, torque-rich cruiser that rewards relaxed, confident riding with commanding presence and plush long-haul comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

2011 Harley-Davidson FLHXSE2 CVO Street Glide Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 696mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Harley-Davidson FLHXSE2 CVO Street Glide, 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.
