Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, low, heavy custom chopper with a stretched wheelbase and steep 35-degree rake.
PurposeBuilt as a head-turning boulevard cruiser and show bike rather than a performance or utility machine, prioritizing radical stance and style over practicality.
Rider FitThe low 610mm seat height eases mounting, but the 294.8kg dry weight, wide 250mm rear tire, and extended wheelbase demand strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds and in tight turns.
CharacterA brash, attention-grabbing V-twin chopper with strong torque for effortless roll-on power and a laid-back, straight-line cruising personality.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a machine suited to twisty, technical roads.

2008 Titan Sidewinder Custom Softail Chopper Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 610mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Titan Sidewinder Custom Softail Chopper, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
