Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who appreciate exotic engineering and unconventional handling characteristics over outright practicality.
PurposeIt's a boutique, limited-production scrambler-style special built to showcase exotic titanium chassis engineering and flat-track/sand-racing inspired performance rather than serve as a conventional dual-purpose off-roader.
Rider FitThe low 186kg dry weight combined with a fairly tall 820mm seat height demands a rider who is confident with a lean, aggressive riding position and minimal wind protection.
CharacterExotic, artisanal, and unapologetically niche, this bike rewards riders who value mechanical artistry, rarity, and razor-sharp handling over comfort or long-distance capability.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking a comfortable commuter, a two-up tourer, or a rugged everyday off-road workhorse.

2020 Brough Superior Pendine Sand Racer Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2020 Brough Superior Pendine Sand Racer, 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.
