Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very large, heavy full-dress touring motorcycle at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for effortless, long-distance highway touring with maximum comfort, storage, and passenger accommodation.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and long wheelbase demand good upper body strength and confidence for slow-speed maneuvers, parking, and U-turns.
CharacterA stately, torque-rich cruiser that favors relaxed, commanding highway cruising over sporty response, rewarding smooth, deliberate inputs.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a nimble, lightweight bike for tight canyon roads, city commuting, or any form of off-road use.

2020 Indian Roadmaster Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 673mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Indian Roadmaster, 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.
