Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with prior experience on heavy, low-slung custom cruisers due to its long wheelbase and raked-out front end.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, boutique custom cruiser for statement-making low-speed presence rather than outright performance or distance covering.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, though the bike's overall heft demands confident strength at low speeds and standstill.
CharacterA hand-crafted Italian custom with an S&S big-twin heart, aimed at riders who want individuality and street presence over practicality.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

2014 Headbanger Summertime Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Headbanger Summertime, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
