Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders comfortable with a big-torque V-twin and a raw, unfiltered power delivery.
PurposeIt's built as a boutique power-cruiser naked, blending massive low-end torque with aggressive street styling rather than outright track focus.
Rider FitThe low 790mm seat height helps confidence at stops, but the substantial torque and weighty chassis demand a firm, physically engaged riding style.
CharacterIt has the soul of a hand-built French hot-rod: a thumping 45-degree V-twin, sharp steering geometry, and premium cycle parts wrapped in a limited-production identity.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a relaxed long-distance touring companion.

2017 Avinton Originale Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Avinton Originale, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
