Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience handling heavy, long, low-slung custom cruisers, especially given the fat 240mm rear tire's effect on steering.
PurposeBuilt for boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than outright speed or distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 641mm seat height is confidence-inspiring for shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight near 307kg demands solid low-speed strength and balance at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA big-twin American custom with deep torque, chopper-inspired styling, and a chrome-heavy presence that rewards relaxed, unhurried riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a nimble daily commuter.

2009 Harley-Davidson FXCWC Rocker C Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 641mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Harley-Davidson FXCWC Rocker C, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
