Rider Profile

Best ForNote: despite being labeled 'Sport', this V-twin cruiser-style automatic with belt drive and centrifugal clutch is best suited to riders of any experience level seeking simplicity rather than sport performance.
PurposeThis machine is built for relaxed, low-effort cruising rather than aggressive sport riding, thanks to its automatic transmission and low-revving air-cooled V2 engine.
Rider FitThe low seat height and twist-and-go automatic clutch make it very approachable for shorter riders or those wanting minimal physical and mechanical effort while riding.
CharacterIt has the laid-back, torquey character of a classic air-cooled V-twin paired with scooter-like ease of operation, favoring convenience over sharp handling or outright speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders chasing high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering, or serious off-road capability.

2008 Ridley AutoGlide Limited Edition 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 AutoGlide Limited Edition, 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.
