Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who understand big-inch V-twin power delivery and a stretched, low-slung custom chassis.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique power-cruiser/custom performance bike, it's meant for boulevard cruising and show-stopping presence rather than lap times.
Rider FitThe low 584mm seat height is easy to straddle, but the long 1727mm wheelbase and huge 330-section rear tire demand strength and deliberate input at low speed and in turns.
CharacterIt has a brash, muscular character defined by massive torque, a fat rear tire, and aggressive custom styling that prioritizes attitude over agility.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a bike for beginners, tight twisty roads, off-road use, or riders wanting a nimble, flickable machine.

2009 Rucker Performance Shelby Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 584mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Rucker Performance Shelby, with a cramped knee angle of around 50 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
