Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, low-slung custom cruisers and their unique low-speed handling quirks.
PurposeBuilt as a Japanese custom chopper-style cruiser around a big S&S Evo V-twin, it exists for style, sound, and boulevard presence rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe long, low, stretched-out riding position with a springer front end and single seat demands relaxed cruiser ergonomics and comfort with a long wheelbase at low speeds.
CharacterIt has a raw, mechanical, old-school hot-rod chopper character with a rigid-looking front end, big torque-driven V-twin pulses, and minimal modern rider aids.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders wanting sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, high-speed touring comfort, or a passenger-friendly setup.

2020 Road Hopper TYPE9 Evo Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 636mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Road Hopper TYPE9 Evo, 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.
