Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to intermediate riders comfortable with a mid-weight adventure bike, though its modest power and manageable seat height also make it approachable for newer riders stepping up from smaller machines.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile adventure-touring bike that handles mixed pavement and light gravel or dirt roads with equal ease.
Rider FitThe 765 mm seat height and 212 kg wet weight make it manageable for riders of average or shorter stature, especially compared to larger GS models.
CharacterA friendly, easygoing parallel-twin adventure bike that favors smooth, predictable delivery over outright excitement, rewarding relaxed, all-day riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing high-speed thrills or serious technical off-road performance, as its power and suspension travel are modest for those demands.

2018 BMW F 700 GS Rallye LS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 BMW F 700 GS Rallye LS, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
