Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine is built exclusively for expert-level and professional racers with extensive track experience, not for road riders of any skill level.
PurposeIt exists purely as a homologation-special, track-only weapon designed to deliver World Superbike-level performance in a limited-production package.
Rider FitRiding it demands excellent physical fitness, core strength, and race-honed body positioning to manage its extreme power, stiff suspension, and aggressive, low-slung ergonomics.
CharacterIt has the uncompromising, razor-sharp character of a purpose-built race bike, rewarding precise inputs with explosive acceleration and razor-edge cornering ability.
Not Ideal ForIt is completely unsuitable for commuting, touring, passengers, or any rider seeking comfort, practicality, or road-legal everyday use.

2019 BMW HP4 Race Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 831mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2019 BMW HP4 Race, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
