Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders of almost any experience level thanks to its automatic, twist-and-go centrifugal clutch and belt final drive, despite being labeled a Sport model.
PurposeMarketed as a Sport machine but built around a low-compression air-cooled V-twin and automatic transmission, it behaves more like a relaxed cruiser-style sport-lite bike than a genuine performance sportbike.
Rider FitA low 622mm seat height and moderate 209kg dry weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders to manage at a stop and in slow maneuvers.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, easygoing personality with a torquey small-displacement V-twin, carburetted fueling, and simple air cooling, favoring relaxed cruising over aggressive cornering or outright speed.
Not Ideal ForIt is not the right choice for riders chasing high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering performance, or serious long-distance touring comfort and range.

2008 Ridley Auto-Glide TT 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 TT, with a cramped knee angle of around 55 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
