Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for newer to intermediate riders thanks to modest power and an approachable, low-slung stance.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising and stylish street presence rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 690 mm seat height and low center of gravity make it easy for shorter riders to manage despite the 247 kg weight.
CharacterA custom Yard Built cruiser that blends classic V-twin cruiser feel with bespoke styling from Bunker Customs, prioritizing attitude over performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting serious highway touring comfort, sport-bike agility, or any off-road capability.

2015 Yamaha XV950 Boltage By Benders Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Yamaha XV950 Boltage By Benders, 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.
