Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with big, heavy V-twin cruisers and are comfortable managing a long, low, front-light chassis at low speed.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, drag-style muscle cruiser meant for stoplight-to-stoplight power, style, and presence rather than outright cornering performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and forward controls suit riders of average to tall height with reasonably long arms and legs, but the weight and wide rear tyre demand decent upper-body strength at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA loud, torque-heavy, visually aggressive cruiser that rewards riders who want to be seen and heard more than riders chasing lean angle or lap times.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting an agile commuter, an off-road capable bike, or a comfortable long-haul touring machine with passenger-friendly ergonomics.

2014 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout Special Edition Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 627mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout Special Edition, 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.
