Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, low-slung custom cruisers and springer front ends that demand deliberate, unhurried handling.
PurposeThis is a styling-focused custom chopper built around a classic Harley-Davidson Evolution-based V-twin, meant for boulevard cruising and visual impact rather than performance.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height and low center of gravity make it easy to mount and paddle at a stop, but the long wheelbase and hardtail-style springer front end mean a firmer, harder-edged ride that can tire out a rider's back over distance.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-driven V-twin cruiser with a raw, minimalist custom aesthetic that rewards relaxed, throttle-lazy riding over aggressive cornering or speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking sharp handling, long-distance touring comfort, passenger capability, or any kind of off-road use.

2015 Road Hopper TYPE5I EVO-B Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Road Hopper TYPE5I EVO-B, 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.
