Rider Profile

Best ForThis trike suits experienced riders, especially those transitioning from two wheels who want stability without balancing at a stop, since it handles more like a small car than a motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt for long-haul, relaxed touring with a passenger and gear, not for speed or sporty riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and three-wheel stability make it accessible to riders with limited leg strength or balance concerns, though its length and weight demand deliberate, unhurried maneuvering at low speed.
CharacterA big, torquey, air-cooled V-twin cruiser trike that prioritizes stability, comfort, and presence over agility or outright performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders seeking cornering thrills, quick agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble ride.

2013 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 688mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
