Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a big, low-slung V-twin custom cruiser that demands deliberate, unhurried inputs rather than quick reflexes.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, individually customizable statement cruiser meant for boulevard cruising and show-quality style rather than speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 635mm seat height and stretched wheelbase make it easy to plant feet at stops, though the wide rear tire and custom geometry require deliberate effort in slow maneuvers and tight turns.
CharacterA brash, muscular custom cruiser with a big S&S V-twin heart, chrome spoke wheels, and an exaggerated stance built to turn heads at every stoplight.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a comfortable two-up long-distance tourer.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 635mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Saxon Villain, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
