Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have experience handling heavy, long, low-slung cruisers, especially given the wide 240mm rear tire's effect on steering.
Purpose	Built for boulevard cruising and making a visual statement with drag-style styling rather than for outright speed or distance touring.
Rider Fit	The very low 665mm seat height suits shorter riders, but the substantial 305kg wet weight demands confidence and strength at low speeds and when maneuvering or parking.
Character	A muscular, low-slung factory custom with strong torque off the line, deep exhaust presence, and drag-bike attitude rather than outright top-end performance.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or a passenger-friendly setup.

Units

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout, 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.
