Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a low-slung, hardtail-style custom that handles very differently from a mainstream cruiser.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique, image-driven custom cruiser for show-and-cruise riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 600mm seat height makes it easy to plant feet at stops, but the rigid or minimally-sprung rear end and stretched-out riding position demand a tolerance for a firm, jarring ride.
CharacterA raw, old-school American-flavored custom with a big S&S V-twin, springer front end, and hardtail attitude that rewards riders who value style and soul over comfort and convenience.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking modern comfort, passenger practicality, long highway range, or any capability off the paved road.

2014 Headbanger Gypsy Soul Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 600mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Headbanger Gypsy Soul, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
