Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least a bit of experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and style-focused riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 710mm seat height makes it approachable, but the 262kg dry weight demands confident low-speed balance and strength when maneuvering it off the stand or in tight spaces.
CharacterA classic air-cooled V-twin cruiser character with a torquey, unhurried powerband and belt-driven, laid-back cadence.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed thrills.

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 SWM Custom V1200 Stormbreaker, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
