Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, low seat height, and mild single-cylinder power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as an entry-level cruiser for relaxed street riding and around-town cruising rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitVery approachable for shorter or lighter riders due to the low 700mm seat height and manageable 173kg curb weight.
CharacterA laid-back, classic-styled single-cylinder cruiser that emphasizes simplicity, easy handling, and low-speed charm over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting high speed, aggressive cornering ability, serious off-road capability, or comfortable two-up long-distance touring.

2021 Suzuki Boulevard S40 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Suzuki Boulevard S40, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
