Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders and returning riders thanks to its automatic transmission and low seat height, while still offering enough character for experienced riders wanting a relaxed ride.
PurposeDesigned as an easygoing, torque-friendly naked bike that prioritizes effortless daily riding over outright performance.
Rider FitA low 800mm seat height and light clutch-free operation make it accessible to shorter riders and those with limited hand or leg strength.
CharacterA quirky, distinctive V-twin naked bike whose automatic gearbox and relaxed torque delivery favor smooth, unhurried riding over aggressive sport riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or the visceral feel of a manual gearbox.

2012 Aprilia Mana 850 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Aprilia Mana 850 ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
