Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some experience who want a light, characterful single-cylinder machine rather than outright novices or power-chasers.
PurposeIt's built as a nimble, boutique naked bike for spirited street riding and back-road fun rather than for touring or long-distance comfort.
Rider FitThe low-ish seat height and very light dry weight make it approachable and easy to manage for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterExpect a torquey, thumping single-cylinder personality with premium Italian-style engineering, sharp handling, and a distinctive minimalist aesthetic.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting high top-speed thrills, long motorway touring comfort, or serious off-road capability.

2011 CR&S Cr&s VUN Road 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 2011 CR&S Cr&s VUN Road, 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.
