Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least some prior motorcycle experience, as the low seat height and manageable power make it approachable but its weight demands confident low-speed handling.
PurposeBuilt as a stripped-down, bobber-style cruiser for style-focused street riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe very low seat height and mid-mounted controls suit shorter riders and those who prefer a relaxed, feet-forward seating position, though the bike's near 300kg weight requires reasonable upper body strength at parking speeds.
CharacterAppeals to riders who want classic American V-twin torque, minimalist blacked-out styling, and a laid-back rumble over outright speed or agility.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, long-distance touring comfort with a passenger, or any off-road capability.

2019 Harley-Davidson Softail Street Bob Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Harley-Davidson Softail Street Bob, 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.
