Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and returning riders thanks to modest power, low-mid seat height, and forgiving manners.
PurposeDesigned as a relaxed, low-effort commuter and light cruiser rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low 720mm seat height and light overall feel make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA calm, easygoing cruiser-styled machine that prioritizes smooth, predictable power delivery over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering performance, or off-road capability.

2018 Honda CTX700N 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 2018 Honda CTX700N, 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.
