Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new and casual riders thanks to its modest power, low-revving engine, and forgiving, predictable manners.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed retro cruising and short commutes rather than outright speed or performance riding.
Rider FitA manageable, moderately heavy machine with a low seat and easy reach to the controls, comfortable for most rider heights.
CharacterA charming, old-school single-cylinder thumper that rewards a laid-back riding style with soulful character over raw performance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking high speed, sharp cornering ability, or serious off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Enfield Classic Chrome, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
