Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable managing a torquey 125hp triple and a bike weighing around 240kg fueled up.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sport-bike performance with touring-friendly ergonomics and wind protection.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and substantial wet weight demand reasonable rider height and strength, especially at low speeds or when fully loaded with a passenger.
CharacterA charismatic Italian triple that rewards a spirited riding style with strong midrange torque and a distinctive engine note, while remaining stable and composed on the highway.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road adventures, absolute beginners, or riders seeking a light, flickable city commuter.

2015 Benelli Tre-K 1130K 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 2015 Benelli Tre-K 1130K, 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.
