Rider Profile

Best ForGreat for riders who want touring luxury without balancing a two-wheeler; its trike layout suits returning, aging, or mobility-limited riders, though its size still demands respect.
PurposeBuilt for long-haul two-up touring in maximum comfort, hauling gear in its trunk and top box across highways and open roads.
Rider FitMassive 561kg three-wheeler with a low 688mm seat, wide stance, full fairing, floorboards, audio, and electric reverse for easy parking.
CharacterA rolling luxury lounge - stable, planted, torque-rich and unhurried, delivering effortless mile-munching with no need to balance or put a foot down.
Not Ideal ForNot for anyone chasing agility, canyon carving, track days, tight city filtering, or off-road use; it steers like a car, not a motorcycle.

2021 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 735mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
