Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and returning riders thanks to its low seat height, automatic DCT gearbox, and mellow low-end torque from the 670cc parallel twin.
PurposeDesigned as an easy, relaxed sport-touring commuter that prioritizes low-effort riding over outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 719mm seat height and light clutchless operation make it very approachable for shorter riders or those with limited hand/finger strength.
CharacterA laid-back, unintimidating machine that feels more like a comfortable commuter than a sporty tourer despite its category label.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders chasing high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering, or any serious off-road capability.

2018 Honda CTX700 DCT 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 2018 Honda CTX700 DCT, 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.
