    2014 BMW F 800 GT 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 2014 BMW F 800 GT, 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.
