Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience handling a heavy, torque-driven V-twin cruiser at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides with a sportier edge than a standard Dyna, thanks to its firmer suspension and dual front discs.
Rider FitThe low 693mm seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, though the 292kg dry weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper-body strength at a stop.
CharacterA muscular, torque-rich cruiser that blends classic Harley styling with slightly sharper handling and braking than its Dyna Glide siblings.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high-speed sport performance, aggressive cornering ability, or any off-road capability.

2005 Harley-Davidson FXDXI Dyna Super Glide Sport Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 693mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Harley-Davidson FXDXI Dyna Super Glide Sport, 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.
