Rider Profile

Best ForA relaxed, low-strung parallel-twin makes this an easy, non-intimidating bike for newer riders or those stepping up from a smaller machine.
PurposeBuilt for easygoing commuting and light touring rather than outright speed or sportiness.
Rider FitA low 719mm seat height, low center of gravity, and light clutch-free operation via the DCT make it very approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA practical, low-maintenance cruiser-tourer hybrid that prioritizes comfort, fuel efficiency, and simplicity over performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting sharp cornering performance, high top speed, or any off-road capability.

2016 Honda CTX700D Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 719mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Honda CTX700D, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 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.
