Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser with a long wheelbase and limited ground clearance.
PurposeBuilt for confident straight-line boulevard cruising and torque-heavy roll-on power rather than outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider FitThe low 635mm seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, but the near-310kg wet weight demands solid low-speed control and strength at a standstill.
CharacterA muscular, big-torque V-twin custom cruiser with a bobber-style stance, favoring relaxed power delivery and strong stopping power over sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting off-road capability, tight-corner agility, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

2016 Victory Gunner Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 635mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Victory Gunner, 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.
