Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with rigid rear suspension, a springer front end, and a hand-built custom chopper riding dynamic.
Purpose	Built as a boutique, hand-crafted custom cruiser for style, presence, and low-speed cruising rather than performance or distance riding.
Rider Fit	The very low seat height and long, low-slung stance make it easy to mount, but the rigid rear end and minimal suspension travel transmit road imperfections directly to the rider.
Character	A striking, artisan-built Japanese chopper with a big air-cooled V-twin Shovelhead engine, springer forks, and a rigid frame that prioritizes visual impact and mechanical character over comfort or handling agility.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders seeking sportiness, long-distance touring comfort, passenger carrying, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Zero Engineering Type 6, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
