Rider Profile

Best ForThis custom-built single-cylinder machine suits riders who already have some experience with low-powered, torque-light bikes and enjoy tinkering with a bespoke build rather than chasing outright performance.
PurposeIts heritage-styled enduro chassis, aggressive Continental TKC80 tires, and modest suspension travel point to a bike built for relaxed dual-sport exploring and gravel-road adventuring rather than serious off-road racing or highway touring.
Rider FitA low 800mm seat height and manageable 198kg weight make it accessible to shorter or lighter riders, though the limited 80mm rear wheel travel and firm setup mean bumps translate directly to the rider.
CharacterThe Dirty Duck has old-school scrambler charm, with a thumping single-cylinder engine character, kick-start option, and analogue gauges that reward riders who value personality and simplicity over speed and tech.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders seeking high-speed touring comfort, serious technical off-road capability, or two-up long-distance travel.

2018 Enfield Custombike Dirty Duck 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 2018 Enfield Custombike Dirty Duck, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright 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.
