Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced, skilled riders who can manage explosive Ducati-derived power in a light, boutique chassis.
PurposeBuilt for spirited canyon carving, trackday thrills, and showcasing exotic Italian craftsmanship rather than practical commuting.
Rider FitThe aggressive naked riding position and firm suspension demand good core strength and comfort with a forward-leaning, sporty stance.
CharacterA rare, hand-built exotic that rewards confident, committed riders with razor-sharp handling and a visceral V-twin character.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to new riders, long-distance tourers, or anyone seeking plush comfort and low-maintenance ownership.

2014 Bimota DB9 Brivido S 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 Bimota DB9 Brivido S, 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.
