Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who enjoy a punchy, torquey V-twin with a supermotard's sharp reflexes.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad carving, tight canyon corners, and urban hooliganism rather than long-distance cruising.
Rider FitThe tall 870mm seat height and top-heavy, upright stance favor taller riders comfortable with a firm, sporty riding position.
CharacterA raw, high-strung supermoto with V-twin punch, razor-sharp steering geometry, and minimal wind protection that rewards an aggressive, playful riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking plush comfort, wind protection, or a relaxed two-up touring platform.

2019 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2019 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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.
