Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers at low speed.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and image-driven riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height is confidence-inspiring but the substantial dry weight demands decent upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvers and parking.
CharacterA muscular, torque-rich cruiser icon that rewards relaxed throttle rolls and a laid-back riding style over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2010 Harley-Davidson FLSTF Softail Fat Boy Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLSTF Softail Fat Boy, 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.
