Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who want the look and feel of a big custom cruiser without the intimidating power of a large-displacement machine, making it approachable for newer or returning riders.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a stylish, low-slung custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and showing off its chopper-inspired styling rather than for outright performance.
Rider FitThe very low 660mm seat height and cruiser ergonomics make it accessible to shorter riders, though the wide front tyre and stretched wheelbase demand deliberate, unhurried steering input.
CharacterA small-capacity V-twin custom with big-bike styling cues, favoring visual presence and low-speed cruising charm over straight-line speed or cornering agility.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking highway-passing power, aggressive cornering ability, or a capable long-distance touring or off-road machine.

2008 Rhino Hunter Softail SLD-002 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 2008 Rhino Hunter Softail SLD-002, 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.
