Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine demands an expert-level rider with serious track experience and total confidence managing extreme, race-bike levels of power and speed.
PurposeBuilt as an exotic hyper-sport missile, it exists to deliver blistering acceleration, a towering top speed, and razor-sharp cornering precision on track or open road.
Rider FitThe aggressive clip-on stance, high-revving engine, and relentless power delivery require strong physical conditioning, quick reflexes, and a tolerance for punishing ergonomics.
CharacterIt is an unapologetic, adrenaline-soaked exotic superbike that blends V8 theatrics with cutting-edge chassis technology for a visceral, no-compromise riding experience.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to new riders, commuters, passengers, or anyone seeking comfort, practicality, or a relaxed, easygoing ride.

2016 Aurora Hellfire V8 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 2016 Aurora Hellfire V8, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
