Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big, torque-heavy custom cruiser best suited to riders who already have experience handling long, low, heavy V-twin machines with a stretched wheelbase and a 45-degree rake.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a boulevard and show-style custom cruiser, meant for relaxed, image-driven riding rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 660 mm seat height helps shorter riders plant their feet, but the 80-inch wheelbase and stretched frame demand deliberate, low-speed steering effort and confident handling of a heavy front end.
CharacterA laid-back, chrome-and-attitude custom bagger-style cruiser that rewards a slow, deliberate riding style with a strong American V-twin rumble and presence.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or nimble city commuting.

2010 Saxon Whip 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 2010 Saxon Whip, 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.
