Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, full-dress touring machine at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built for covering long interstate miles in comfort with a passenger and luggage rather than for quick sporty rides.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial wet weight demands confident strength and balance at parking-lot speeds.
Character	A classic, torque-rich American cruiser that delivers relaxed, effortless highway cruising with iconic V-twin character and thump.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, 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 692mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard, 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.
