Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a boutique Italian machine best suited to experienced riders who appreciate a raw, mechanical connection to the bike rather than modern electronic hand-holding.
PurposeBuilt as a supermoto-styled, road-focused enduro hybrid, it exists to carve corners aggressively on tight, twisting tarmac rather than to tackle genuine off-road terrain.
Rider FitThe tall 890mm seat height, light 175kg dry weight, and 21-inch front wheel demand an active, confident riding style and decent leg length to manage at low speed.
CharacterIt has the soul of a Ducati L-twin wrapped in exotic Bimota chassis engineering, delivering punchy torque, sharp steering geometry, and premium Öhlins and Brembo componentry.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking genuine off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or a forgiving, low-maintenance daily commuter.

2015 Bimota DB X Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 890mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2015 Bimota DB X, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
