Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who have progressed beyond a beginner bike and want a livelier, more flickable take on the classic cruiser format.
PurposeBuilt for sporty street cruising and weekend backroad runs rather than pure straight-line speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe 765mm-adjustable seat height and moderate 238kg wet weight make it manageable for most riders including shorter ones.
CharacterA liquid-cooled, higher-revving V-twin cruiser that trades some low-end lazy torque for a sportier, more aggressive personality with sharper handling geometry.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting serious two-up touring comfort, wind protection, or any off-road capability.

2018 Harley-Davidson Street Rod Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Rod, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
