Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, low-slung custom cruisers and their unique low-speed handling quirks.
PurposeBuilt as a stripped-down, styling-forward custom cruiser meant for boulevard cruising and show presence rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, but the springer front end, low ground clearance, and stretched-out riding position demand comfort with a laid-back, feet-forward stance.
CharacterA big V-twin custom with rigid-look springer forks and minimalist bodywork, this bike is all about attitude, sound, and visual impact over sport capability.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sporty cornering, off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or carrying a passenger, since it lacks passenger accommodations and has limited suspension travel and ground clearance.

2011 Road Hopper Type 5I Evo 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 2011 Road Hopper Type 5I 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.
