Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy, low-slung custom cruiser with a fat rear tire that resists quick direction changes.
PurposeBuilt as a bold style-first cruiser for boulevard cruising and weekend showing-off rather than outright performance or distance-eating touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height is approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight and stretched-out chopper stance demand deliberate, confident low-speed handling.
CharacterA torque-rich, laid-back V-twin cruiser with aggressive custom styling that rewards relaxed throttle-rolling rides over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking a nimble, lightweight, or high-revving machine for tight twisties or off-road adventures.

2011 Harley-Davidson FXCWC Softail Rocker C 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 FXCWC Softail Rocker C, 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.
