Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable handling a long, heavy, custom-styled chopper-style cruiser with a stretched wheelbase and steep 33-degree rake.
Purpose	Built as a bold American custom cruiser, it's meant for making a statement on boulevards and at bike nights rather than for outright performance or long-distance touring efficiency.
Rider Fit	The low 610mm seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders at a stop, but the near-300kg dry weight and extended front end demand strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering.
Character	Torque-rich 45-degree V-twin with a big-inch feel, chrome-heavy custom styling, an aggressive raked-out stance, and a boutique feel courtesy of the Baker overdrive transmission and premium Marzocchi suspension.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right choice for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight commuter, as its stretched geometry and heavy mass make tight, technical riding cumbersome.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 2008 Viper Diamondback, 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.
