Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy, stretched-chassis custom cruiser with a wide rear tyre and aggressive rake.
Purpose	Built as a boulevard and show-style custom cruiser prioritizing stance and V-twin character over outright performance or practicality.
Rider Fit	The low 660 mm seat height suits shorter riders and easy stops, but the long 2070 mm wheelbase and nearly 300 kg dry weight demand upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvering and U-turns.
Character	A laid-back, torque-driven air-cooled V-twin cruiser with a raked-out custom frame, belt final drive, and old-school analog attitude despite its digital tach.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a sporty, quick-revving ride.

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Saxon Griffin, 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.
