Best for
Built as a bold, individually customizable statement cruiser meant for boulevard cruising and show-quality style rather than speed or long-distance touring.
Built for
A 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 for
This is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a comfortable two-up long-distance tourer.

At 635mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Saxon Villain, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
