Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits new-to-intermediate riders thanks to its automatic transmission and forgiving, easy-to-manage power delivery.
PurposeIt's built as a relaxed, versatile all-rounder for commuting and light touring rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low 800mm seat height and automatic clutch make it very accessible for riders of varying size and experience, requiring minimal physical effort to operate.
CharacterThe Mana 850 GT has a laid-back, grand-touring personality, prioritizing smooth, effortless cruising over outright sportiness or aggression.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high-speed thrills, or any off-road capability.

2012 Aprilia Mana 850 GT 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 GT 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.
