Can-Am Spyder GS SE5 vs Harley-Davidson Street Glide Trike ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Can-Am Spyder GS SE5 has a 737 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Street Glide Trike sits at 721 mm — a 16 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 74 cm for the Can-Am Spyder GS SE5 and 72 cm for the Harley-Davidson Street Glide Trike.

That makes the Harley-Davidson Street Glide Trike the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Can-Am Spyder GS SE5 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.
