Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt 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 FitA 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.
CharacterA torque-rich, traditionally styled American V-twin cruiser that rewards smooth, unhurried throttle inputs over aggressive riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or sport-bike levels of acceleration.

2011 Victory Kingpin 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 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.
