Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, low-slung, rigid-rear custom cruiser that demands deliberate, confident inputs at low speed.
PurposeBuilt as a bespoke S&S-powered chopper-style cruiser, it exists for boulevard cruising and show-worthy presence rather than performance or distance-eating versatility.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height and long wheelbase make it easy to flat-foot at stops, but the rigid rear end and stretched-out riding position will fatigue the back and wrists over longer rides.
CharacterIt has the soul of a classic American-style chopper: big-inch OHV V-twin thump, minimal suspension compliance, and styling-first engineering over refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, plush all-day comfort, or modern touring practicality.

2011 Saxon Henchman 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 Saxon Henchman, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
