Rider Profile

Best ForA friendly, low-slung cruiser that suits beginners and returning riders thanks to its low seat height and manageable weight.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, stylish cruising around town and along scenic backroads rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 655mm seat height and mid-mounted controls make it accessible for shorter riders and comfortable for casual rides.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser with laid-back styling, a deep exhaust note, and easygoing power delivery rather than aggressive performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting sharp cornering ability, high-speed performance, or serious off-road capability.

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

Feet:

At 655mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Honda Shadow Phantom, 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.
