Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike demands an experienced rider due to its huge single-cylinder power output combined with a light chassis and tall, off-road-biased ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt as a high-performance big-bore enduro, it excels at aggressive off-road riding and technical trail work rather than commuting or long highway trips.
Rider FitThe tall 910mm seat height and firm enduro stance suit taller, physically fit riders comfortable standing on the pegs and managing a torquey single at low speed.
CharacterIt has the character of a raw, torque-heavy off-road weapon, favoring immediacy and lightness over refinement or creature comforts.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited for new riders, pillion passengers, or anyone seeking a plush, long-distance touring experience.

2006 Highland Outback Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 910mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2006 Highland Outback, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
