Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big, heavy custom cruiser best suited to riders who already have experience handling long, low, weighty motorcycles at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a bespoke American-style V-twin cruiser for laid-back boulevard cruising and show-worthy styling rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe stretched frame, low 533mm seat height, and 45-degree steep rake give a relaxed, feet-forward riding position, though the substantial dry weight of over 285kg demands confident low-speed balance and upper body strength when maneuvering at a standstill
CharacterA rumbling, big-inch 45-degree V-twin with carburetted throttle response delivers a torque-rich, unhurried character that rewards smooth, deliberate riding over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for riders seeking sharp handling, high-speed touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

2012 Saxon Warlord Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 533mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Saxon Warlord, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
