Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike for experienced, technically-minded riders who appreciate exotic chassis engineering over raw horsepower, as the hub-center steering front end demands a deliberate adjustment period.
PurposeBuilt as a low-volume Italian collector's piece and cornering specialist, it exists to showcase Bimota's unique hub-steered front suspension rather than to compete on outright speed.
Rider FitA light, compact naked bike with a low seat height and low dry weight, it is physically unintimidating but rewards precise, committed inputs rather than brute strength.
CharacterExotic, boutique, and mechanically fascinating, it feels like riding a hand-built piece of rolling sculpture with razor-sharp, unconventional front-end feedback.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger practicality, everyday usability, or simple, low-maintenance ownership.

2017 Bimota Tesi 3D 40 Anniversario 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 2017 Bimota Tesi 3D 40 Anniversario, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
