Josh,
If memory serves, total passenger combined weight capacity is in the 325-350 lb range.
My wife likes to ride with me and we together exceed this rating.
Aside from being somewhat uncomfortable on the seat, the bike does great.
I wouldn´t for a second suggest habitually doing this. In addition to exceeding the design weight capacity of the brakes, etc., spokes and wheels might need to be trued more often, tires inflated more to handle the increased load, etc.
Hope this helps.
