Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a hand-built custom chopper best suited to experienced riders comfortable with rigid-frame handling and low-speed balance challenges.
PurposeBuilt as a showpiece cruiser for boulevard cruising and statement-making rather than performance or distance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and stretched-out riding position suit taller riders, but the rigid frame transmits every bump directly to the rider's body.
CharacterA bold, individualistic machine for riders who value style, presence, and old-school hardtail attitude over practicality.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for new riders, tight urban commuting, twisty roads, or anyone seeking long-distance comfort.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 686mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Samurai Chopper Type 6, 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.
