Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to newer riders or those wanting a low-stress, low-power custom cruiser experience rather than seasoned power riders.
PurposeIt's built primarily as a styling-focused custom cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding rather than performance or utility.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height and stretched softail stance make it accessible to shorter riders, though the long wheelbase demands some effort at low-speed maneuvering.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, chopper-inspired personality with deep exhaust notes and visual presence that outweighs its modest 250cc V-twin performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking highway overtaking power, serious touring range, or any off-road capability.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2012 Rhino FLM-004 Hunter Softail 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 2012 Rhino FLM-004 Hunter Softail, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
