Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders who have progressed beyond a beginner license and are comfortable managing a heavy, torque-driven V-twin at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for stripped-down cruiser style and relaxed boulevard cruising rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height suits shorter riders, but the 290kg dry weight demands confident low-speed balance and strength when maneuvering or parking.
CharacterA bobber-styled cruiser that rewards laid-back, torque-fed acceleration and a classic Harley soundtrack over cornering agility or top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, high-speed touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

2011 Harley-Davidson FXDB Street Bob Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Harley-Davidson FXDB Street Bob, 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.
