Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy, radically raked custom cruiser at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique showpiece cruiser for cruising and turning heads rather than for outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps at a stop, but the long wheelbase, wide 260mm rear tyre, and aggressive 33-degree rake demand strength and deliberate input for slow maneuvers and U-turns.
CharacterA rare, hand-built American custom with a big V-twin rumble, chrome billet styling, and one-of-25 exclusivity that rewards riders who want to be seen as much as ride.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a nimble everyday commuter.

2014 Viper Black Diamond Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 610mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Viper Black Diamond, 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.
