Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, long-distance touring and highway cruising rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
Rider FitAt 338 kg with a low 720mm seat height, it's physically manageable once moving but demands strength and confidence when maneuvering at a stop or parking.
CharacterThe V4 engine and shaft drive give it a smooth, torquey, low-maintenance character suited to unhurried mile-munching rather than aggressive acceleration.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight nimble city runabout.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2016 Honda CTX1300 DLX Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Honda CTX1300 DLX, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
