Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who already have some experience with heavy, low-slung cruisers and are comfortable managing a bike with a stretched-out riding position and limited cornering clearance.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a bold, muscular power-cruiser for style-driven boulevard riding and short blasts rather than outright speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe low 671 mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the 293 kg mass demands confident low-speed handling and upper-body strength at a stop or in tight maneuvers.
CharacterA big-torque V-twin with aggressive custom styling that rewards relaxed, throttle-driven riding over aggressive cornering or high-rev thrills.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a comfortable long-haul touring platform.

2017 Yamaha Stryker Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 671mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha Stryker, 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.
