Rider Profile

Best ForBest for experienced riders comfortable managing a very heavy machine at low speed; not a beginner bike despite its relaxed, torquey power delivery.
PurposeA fully-loaded long-haul touring bagger built to devour interstate miles two-up with luggage, infotainment, cruise control and all-weather comfort.
Rider FitMassive 918 lb wet weight with a low 27.5in seat, big fairing, windshield, floorboards and hard bags; planted and comfortable but a handful when parking.
CharacterGrand American touring flagship: torque-rich Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-twin, plush ride, effortless highway cruising and premium touring amenities.
Not Ideal ForNot for tight-canyon carvers, track riders, off-road use, budget-minded riders, or those wanting a nimble, lightweight commuter.

2016 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited, 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.
