Rider Profile

Best For	This is a heavy, torque-laden custom cruiser best suited to riders who already have experience handling big, low-slung V-twins at low speeds.
Purpose	It's built as a boulevard cruiser and style statement, with a springer front end and CVO custom flair rather than performance or utility as the priority.
Rider Fit	The low 648mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the near-330kg dry weight and long wheelbase demand strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds.
Character	Its massive 240-section rear tire, chrome springer fork, and premium CVO paint give it a bold, unmistakable old-school hot-rod chopper presence.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble daily commuter.

Units

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

Feet:

At 648mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Harley-Davidson FXSTSSE3 CVO Softail Springer, 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.
