Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have solid experience with heavy, long-wheelbase cruisers, given its substantial 331 kg weight and stretched-out custom geometry.
Purpose	Built as a bold, low-slung power cruiser meant for relaxed boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The low 696 mm seat height is friendly to shorter riders, but the bike's mass and long wheelbase demand confident upper-body strength at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
Character	A big-torque V-twin custom cruiser with dramatic styling, a fat 210-section rear tire, and an air-cooled OHV engine that favors laid-back throttle rolls over revving hard.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.

Units

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

Feet:

At 696mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha Raider S, 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.
