Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a low-slung, springer-front custom chopper that handles very differently from a modern motorcycle.
Purpose	This is a boutique custom cruiser built around a big S&S Shovel-style V-twin, meant for style, sound, and low-speed presence rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The low 660mm seat height makes it easy to reach the ground, but the stretched wheelbase, springer front end, and cruiser ergonomics demand deliberate, unhurried inputs.
Character	A classic American-style chopper persona with a rigid-look frame, single seat, and minimalist bodywork built purely for visual impact and open-road cruising attitude.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders wanting sharp handling, passenger capability, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

Units

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 Type 5 Shovel, 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.
