Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to riders who already have experience handling heavy motorcycles at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeIt's built for effortless long-distance highway cruising with a classic Harley touring character, not for outright speed or sporty cornering.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight over 360 kg demands confident strength and balance when maneuvering at a standstill or parking.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-rich V-twin cruiser that rewards relaxed throttle inputs and steady, sweeping roads over aggressive riding.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders wanting sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight machine for quick city darting.

2022 Harley-Davidson Road King Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 668mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 Harley-Davidson Road King, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
