Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who appreciate a quirky, characterful single-cylinder machine over outright power.
PurposeDesigned as a lightweight, minimalist naked bike for spirited urban riding and twisty backroads rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe low dry weight and accessible seat height make it manageable for a wide range of rider sizes, though the firm single-cylinder character rewards an active riding style.
CharacterA boutique, artisanal Italian roadster with a big-bore single engine delivering torquey, characterful power with genuine mechanical charm.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting high-speed touring comfort, pillion practicality, or serious off-road capability.

2009 CR&S Cr&s VUN Evoluzion Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 CR&S Cr&s VUN Evoluzion, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
