Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-capacity naked is ideal for beginners or those returning to riding after time away.
PurposeIt is best suited to light commuting and casual runs around town rather than any performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light overall build make it easy to manage for riders of shorter stature or lower physical strength.
CharacterIt has a modest, unpretentious personality suited to relaxed, low-stress riding rather than thrills.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2009 Gilera VC 150 Strada Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Gilera VC 150 Strada, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
