Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience, since the instant electric torque and quick chassis reward confident throttle control despite the approachable power figure.
PurposeDesigned as an electric naked streetfighter for spirited street riding and short sporty commutes rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitA light, compact chassis with a moderate seat height makes it manageable for a wide range of rider sizes and physical abilities.
CharacterDelivers a smooth, silent, torque-rich ride with sportbike-derived suspension and brakes that make it feel eager and precise through corners.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting long highway touring range, off-road capability, or the sound and feel of a traditional combustion engine.

2015 Brammo Empulse R 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 2015 Brammo Empulse R, 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.
