Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for an experienced rider comfortable with a long, low, rigid-frame chopper that demands deliberate, confident inputs at all speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a bold custom show-and-go cruiser, it's meant for boulevard cruising, weekend rides, and turning heads rather than any performance-oriented riding.
Rider FitThe stretched-out riding position, low 559mm seat, and lack of rear suspension compliance mean you'll feel every bump, so a good back and core stability help over longer rides.
CharacterLoud, wide, and unapologetically styled with a fat 240 rear tyre and springer front end, it has huge road presence and a distinct American custom personality.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for tight city commuting, twisty backroads, long-distance touring comfort, or anyone wanting nimble, forgiving handling.

2009 Von Dutch Cruelworld Rigid Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 559mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Von Dutch Cruelworld Rigid, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
