PurposeIt exists to deliver exotic, low-volume Bimota engineering wrapped around Kawasaki's supercharged H2 heart for uncompromising sport and cornering performance.
Rider FitThe riding position is committed and sporty, demanding an athletic build and good core strength to control the bike under hard acceleration and braking.
CharacterIt has the personality of a razor-edged boutique hypersport bike, blending brutal forced-induction thrust with the exotic feel of Bimota's front-suspension innovation.

2023 Bimota Tesi H2 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2023 Bimota Tesi H2, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
