Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to an experienced rider who is comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt as a premium, convertible-style touring cruiser, it's meant for relaxed highway cruising with the option to strip down to a leaner bobber-like look.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but its substantial dry weight demands confident strength and balance when maneuvering at a standstill or in parking lots.
CharacterA big-torque, air-cooled V-twin with premium CVO trim, it delivers strong, unhurried grunt and a commanding presence rather than outright speed or sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders chasing sporty cornering performance, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

2010 Harley-Davidson FLSTSE CVO Softail Convertible Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 650mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLSTSE CVO Softail Convertible, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
