Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with heavy, torque-driven cruisers and want a classic Harley feel rather than outright performance.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising and boulevard riding, delivering strong low-end torque and a big-twin rumble rather than high-speed thrills.
Rider FitIts low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, though the 295 kg dry weight demands confident low-speed handling and strength when maneuvering at a stop.
CharacterA traditional, air-cooled V-twin cruiser with a laid-back demeanor, chrome styling, and a soulful exhaust note that rewards smooth, unhurried riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2009 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 675mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide, 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.
