Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and relaxed riders who value simplicity over outright performance.
PurposeBuilt for leisurely classic-style cruising and short commutes rather than speed or sport riding.
Rider FitA modest 187kg curb weight and low-revving single-cylinder engine make it easy and unintimidating to handle.
CharacterA charming, old-school single with thumping character that rewards a relaxed, unhurried riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders seeking high speed, sharp handling, or long-distance touring comfort.

2016 Enfield Bullet Electra Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Enfield Bullet Electra, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
