Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Can-Am Spyder F3-T has a 676 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra sits at 688 mm — a 12 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 68 cm for the Can-Am Spyder F3-T and 69 cm for the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra.
That makes the Can-Am Spyder F3-T the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
