Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to riders who already have experience handling long, heavy custom cruisers with stretched frames and a wide rear tire.
PurposeBuilt as a boulevard show-and-cruise bike, it's about styling, presence, and relaxed straight-line riding rather than outright performance or cornering agility.
Rider FitThe low 635mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the stretched wheelbase, springer front end, and wide 240mm rear tire demand deliberate, muscular input at low speed and in turns.
CharacterIt suits a rider who wants a big-inch, chopper-styled V-twin cruiser with classic hardtail-look springer forks and spoked wheels, valuing looks and torque over cornering finesse.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking sporty handling, off-road capability, or nimble commuting through tight city traffic.

2012 Saxon Crown Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 635mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Saxon Crown, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
