Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who understand supermoto dynamics and can manage a light, quick-steering chassis paired with real power.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad carving and technical cornering rather than straight-line speed or utility.
Rider FitThe tall seat height, minimal wind protection, and firm sporty ergonomics demand an active, fit rider comfortable standing on the pegs and shifting body weight through corners.
CharacterIt rewards a playful, precision-focused riding style, favoring flickable handling and sharp feedback over relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for riders seeking long-distance comfort, passenger accommodation, or a forgiving first bike.

2016 Bimota Dbx 1100 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Bimota Dbx 1100, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
