Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and returning riders; the automatic gearbox and ultra-low seat remove clutch/shift stress, making it approachable for the least confident.
PurposeRelaxed, low-speed cruising around town and light back-road rides. A twist-and-go American-style cruiser for casual, easygoing outings.
Rider FitVery low 24.5in seat and light 440lb dry weight suit short and smaller riders; feet-forward cruiser posture with easy flat-foot reach at stops.
CharacterA friendly, no-fuss automatic V-twin cruiser with old-school looks. Modest power and belt drive give a mellow, unintimidating personality.
Not Ideal ForNot for speed seekers, sport or track riders, long-haul tourers, or anyone wanting off-road ability or spirited canyon-carving performance.

2006 Ridley Auto-Glide Old School 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 2006 Ridley Auto-Glide Old School, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
