Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser, given its near 350 kg curb weight and long wheelbase.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than sporty or aggressive riding.
Rider FitThe low 720 mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial weight demands confident low-speed control and strength when maneuvering at a stop.
CharacterA big-displacement V-twin cruiser with a shaft drive and torque-focused character, rewarding smooth, unhurried throttle inputs over aggressive riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or outright acceleration performance.

2017 Suzuki Boulevard C90 BOSS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Suzuki Boulevard C90 BOSS, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
