Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience handling heavy, low-slung custom cruisers with limited ground clearance and stretched geometry.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a stylish, low-slung custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than for outright performance.
Rider FitThe very low seat height and wide bars make it easy to plant feet at stops, but its heavy custom-cruiser mass demands strength at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA bold, chrome-heavy factory custom with a big V-twin thump, laid-back ergonomics, and eye-catching Arlen Ness styling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort with serious wind protection and storage.

2008 Victory Arlen Ness Jackpot Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 673mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Victory Arlen Ness Jackpot, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
