Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase touring bagger at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, high-comfort long-distance touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sport riding or commuting.
Rider FitA tall, wide, and heavy machine that demands decent strength and confidence when stopped, parking, or maneuvering at walking pace.
CharacterA bold, custom-styled American cruiser-tourer with a torquey V-twin, distinctive Arlen Ness bodywork, and a laid-back, cross-country persona.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city runabout.

2011 Victory Arlen Ness Vision 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 2011 Victory Arlen Ness Vision, 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.
