Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable handling a long, heavy, low-slung custom cruiser with a fat rear tyre and stretched wheelbase.
PurposeBuilt as a bespoke S&S-powered custom cruiser, it's meant for style-driven boulevard cruising and show-worthy presence rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 635mm seat height and solo perch make mounting easy, but the extended wheelbase and 240-section rear tyre demand deliberate, muscular steering input at low speed.
CharacterIt has a raw, big-twin custom character with a rumbling 1566cc S&S V-twin, minimalist solo-seat aesthetics, and an emphasis on individuality through customization.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a passenger-friendly, long-distance touring companion.

2017 Saxon Reaper 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 2017 Saxon Reaper, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
