Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement cruiser is well suited to beginners or riders who want cruiser styling without intimidating power.
PurposeIt's built for low-key cruising and boulevard style rather than outright performance, with a custom softail look at an entry-level engine size.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height and modest weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has classic chopper-style cruiser looks with a laid-back rake and custom exhausts, prioritizing attitude over speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway touring, passenger comfort over distance, or anyone seeking strong acceleration.

2012 Rhino FLM-005 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-005 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.
