Rider Profile

Best For	This is a boutique custom chopper best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a long, low, stretched-out riding position and minimal ground clearance.
Purpose	Built as a hand-crafted style statement and cruiser, the Type 9 prioritizes bold custom aesthetics over outright performance, practicality, or versatility.
Rider Fit	The low 636mm seat height and forward-set riding stance suit shorter riders comfortably, but the raked-out steering geometry demands deliberate, muscular input at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
Character	A rare, Japanese-made custom chopper with a springer front end, big V-twin power delivery, and an unmistakable minimalist, old-school hot-rod attitude.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or carrying a passenger.

Units

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

Feet:

At 636mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Zero Engineering Type 9, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
