Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a powerful, high-torque naked bike best suited to experienced riders comfortable with strong acceleration and a firm sporty chassis.
PurposeBuilt as an aggressive street-and-canyon naked, blending a big triple engine with sportbike-derived running gear for fast, engaging road riding.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and 208kg dry weight demand reasonably confident, physically capable riders, though the naked upright ergonomics ease long-term strain compared to a full sportbike.
CharacterIt has a raw, muscular character defined by its torquey in-line triple, upside-down forks, and aggressive rake, rewarding assertive riding over relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for beginners, off-road use, or riders prioritizing plush long-distance touring comfort.

2011 Benelli Century Racer 1130 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Benelli Century Racer 1130, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
