Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a rigid rear end, minimal suspension travel, and the low-speed handling quirks of a hardtail custom cruiser.
PurposeBuilt as a styling-focused Japanese custom chopper around a Harley-Davidson Evolution-based V-twin, it's meant for boulevard cruising and show presence rather than performance or utility.
Rider FitThe low 680mm seat height and single-seat design make it approachable for shorter riders, though the rigid rear suspension demands a tolerance for harsh jolts over rough pavement.
CharacterIt has classic springer-fork, hardtail chopper attitude with a torquey air-cooled V-twin rumble and a stripped-down, minimalist aesthetic.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance touring comfort, a passenger seat, off-road capability, or sport-oriented cornering agility.

2015 Road Hopper Type 2I Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Road Hopper Type 2I, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
