Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeIt's built for covering long interstate miles in comfort with a fairing-mounted stereo and storage rather than for quick errands or sport riding.
Rider FitAt 838 lb wet with a long 64-inch wheelbase, it demands a taller, stronger rider confident with its bulk at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterIt delivers a torquey, unhurried V-twin cruising experience wrapped in Harley's signature bagger touring style.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

2019 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 658mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
