Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who appreciate exotic, low-volume engineering and a raw, analog connection to the road.
PurposeIt exists as a boutique, exclusive-order sportbike built for spirited backroad riding and collector appeal rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitA light dry weight of 186 kg paired with a low 820 mm seat height makes it approachable despite its performance intent, though the committed sport riding position demands some fitness for longer stints.
CharacterThe bespoke titanium chassis, exotic Fior-type front end, and V-twin punch give it a bespoke, artisanal character that rewards precise, engaged riding over brute speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, budget-conscious buyers, commuters, or anyone seeking passenger comfort or long-distance touring practicality.

2020 Brough Superior SS100 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 SS100, 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.
