Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginners and returning riders thanks to its low seat height, manageable power delivery, and relaxed ergonomics.
Purpose	Designed as an easygoing sport-touring commuter that blends comfortable long-distance capability with practical everyday usability.
Rider Fit	The low 719mm seat height and upright, feet-forward riding position make it accessible to shorter riders and comfortable over long stretches.
Character	A calm, low-stress companion rather than a thrill machine, favoring smooth torque and stability over outright speed or sharp handling.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders chasing high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering performance, or any serious off-road adventure.

Units

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 CTX 700, 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.
