Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders of most experience levels thanks to its automatic centrifugal clutch that removes manual shifting from the equation.
PurposeIt's built as a relaxed, cruiser-style classic for easy boulevard riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and twist-and-go clutch make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders who want to avoid clutch and shift-lever work.
CharacterIt has the laid-back, air-cooled V-twin character of a traditional cruiser, emphasizing simplicity and easy low-speed control over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or serious high-speed touring.

2008 Ridley Auto-Glide Standard 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 2008 Ridley Auto-Glide Standard, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
