Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and returning riders thanks to its low seat height, approachable power delivery, and confidence-inspiring DCT automatic transmission.
PurposeDesigned as a relaxed, low-maintenance sport tourer for commuting and easy weekend rides rather than aggressive sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 719mm seat height and light, manageable weight make it accessible for shorter riders or those wanting a less physically demanding ride.
CharacterA practical, unintimidating middleweight with a torquey twin engine and clutchless DCT operation that prioritizes ease of use over outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders chasing high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering performance, or serious off-road capability.

2014 Honda CTX700 DCT ABS 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 2014 Honda CTX700 DCT ABS, 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.
