Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who already have some experience handling heavier motorcycles, though the low seat height and manageable power make it approachable for confident newer riders too.
PurposeBuilt for style-driven cruising and boulevard riding rather than outright speed or cornering precision.
Rider FitThe low 690mm seat height and mid-mounted controls favor shorter riders, but the 300kg wet weight demands decent upper-body strength at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA torque-rich, laid-back cruiser with classic Harley soul, offering strong low-end pull and a commanding, muscular riding stance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Harley-Davidson Softail Low Rider, 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.
