Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and returning riders thanks to its low seat height, automatic DCT-style clutch, and mild-mannered parallel-twin power delivery.
PurposeDesigned as an easy-going commuter and light sport-tourer rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low 719mm seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to shorter riders and those wanting a non-intimidating ergonomic package.
CharacterA relaxed, practical, no-drama machine that prioritizes convenience, fuel economy, and ease of use over excitement or outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high-speed touring capability, or any off-road ambition.

2017 Honda CTX700 DCX 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 2017 Honda CTX700 DCX, 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.
