Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway stints where big V-twin torque and classic cruiser styling matter more than outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider Fit	A low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight demands confident strength when maneuvering it at a standstill or in tight parking.
Character	A torque-rich, traditionally styled American V-twin cruiser that rewards smooth, unhurried throttle inputs over aggressive riding.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or sport-bike levels of acceleration.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 Kingpin, 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.
