Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a long, heavy, raked-out custom cruiser at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a show-worthy custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and style-focused riding rather than performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial dry weight and stretched chassis demand deliberate, strong handling at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA big-inch V-twin custom with a laid-back stance, aggressive rake, and torque-driven character that rewards relaxed, unhurried riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or outright acceleration.

2009 Saxon Javelin 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 2009 Saxon Javelin, 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.
