Rider Profile

Best ForThis trike is best suited to experienced riders, particularly those transitioning from two wheels who want the reassurance of three-wheeled stability for long-haul comfort.
PurposeBuilt as a full-dress touring trike, its purpose is relaxed, high-comfort long-distance cruising rather than sport riding or quick maneuvering.
Rider FitIts considerable weight of over 400 kg combined with three-wheel stability means less low-speed balancing effort than a standard cruiser, but reverse and parking maneuvers still demand attention and upper-body strength.
CharacterIt suits a laid-back, image-conscious rider who values classic Harley styling, plush amenities, and effortless stability over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking agility, cornering thrills, or off-road capability, as its size, weight, and three-wheel layout make tight or technical riding impractical.

2011 Harley-Davidson Flhtcutg Tri Glide Ultra Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 698mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Harley-Davidson Flhtcutg Tri Glide Ultra Classic, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
