Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a niche, low-powered cruiser best suited to riders who prioritize style and easy operation over performance, and its automatic transmission makes it approachable even for those newer to bigger bikes.
PurposeBuilt as a laid-back chopper-style cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding and showing off custom styling rather than for speed or distance covering.
Rider FitThe very low seat height and automatic clutch make it easy to manage at a stop, though the long wheelbase and chopper geometry demand deliberate, unhurried inputs at low speed.
CharacterA laid-back, individualistic cruiser with classic chopper proportions, a torquey small V-twin, and a belt-drive automatic gearbox that emphasizes cruising comfort over engagement.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp handling, high speed, off-road capability, or serious long-distance touring comfort.

2009 Ridley Auto-Glide Chopper Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 622mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Ridley Auto-Glide Chopper, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
