Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, 21-inch-front adventure bike and its off-road-biased handling.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a lightweight, long-travel adventure and dual-sport machine for mixed on- and off-road exploration rather than outright speed.
Rider FitThe 860mm seat height and 204kg weight demand reasonable rider height and confidence balancing the bike at low speeds, especially off-road.
CharacterA nimble, torquey parallel-twin adventure bike that rewards a relaxed, standing-up riding style and confident throttle control on loose surfaces.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking top-end sport-bike performance, track pace, or a low, plush cruiser-style ride.

2023 Aprilia Tuareg 660 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2023 Aprilia Tuareg 660, 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.
