Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a tall, substantial adventure-touring machine.
PurposeIt's built primarily for long-distance touring and mixed-road adventure riding rather than outright sport performance.
Rider FitThe 820mm seat height and considerable wheelbase mean shorter riders may find it a bit of a reach at standstill.
CharacterThe V-twin delivers strong, torquey mid-range power with a relaxed, confident character suited to covering big miles.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight track weapon or a dedicated hardcore off-road machine.

2003 Aprilia ETV 1000 Caponord Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2003 Aprilia ETV 1000 Caponord, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
