Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who appreciate a lightweight, characterful single over outright power.
PurposeA flat-track-inspired naked bike built for flickable, fun street riding and spirited backroad scratching rather than long-distance or high-speed work.
Rider FitThe tall 830mm seat height and minimal weight favor taller or more confident riders, though the low dry weight makes it manageable at a standstill.
CharacterRaw, punchy, and engaging, this is a bike that rewards momentum-carrying, corner-hunting riding with a distinctive single-cylinder thump.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a smooth, high-speed tourer, a passenger-friendly bike, or serious sustained highway comfort.

2018 CCM Spitfire Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2018 CCM Spitfire, 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.
