Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced, technically minded riders who understand and appreciate its exotic front hub-center steering system rather than a first big bike.
PurposeBuilt as a low-volume Italian exotic focused on razor-sharp cornering precision and engineering novelty rather than outright top-speed bragging rights.
Rider FitThe low, compact naked-bike stance and light dry weight make it physically manageable, but the firm suspension and aggressive geometry demand an active, committed riding position.
CharacterA rare, boutique hyper-naked whose hub-center steering front end delivers uniquely stable, precise cornering feedback unlike any telescopic-fork competitor.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting long-distance comfort, pillion practicality, or a low-maintenance, easy-to-live-with daily commuter.

2008 Bimota Tesi 3D 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 2008 Bimota Tesi 3D, 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.
