Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a long, heavy, aggressively raked custom chopper that demands deliberate, confident inputs.
PurposeBuilt as a boulevard and show-stopping custom cruiser, it's about big V-twin torque, radical styling, and head-turning presence rather than outright cornering ability.
Rider FitThe low 22-inch seat height helps at a stop, but the extreme 40-degree rake, fat 300mm rear tyre, and 274kg dry weight make slow-speed maneuvering and U-turns physically demanding.
CharacterA brash, chrome-laden American V-twin custom with a fat rear tyre and stretched stance, meant to be seen and heard as much as ridden.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders wanting nimble handling, aggressive cornering, or a bike suited to tight city streets and technical roads.

2009 Von Dutch Speedball 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 Speedball, 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.
