Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders and commuters thanks to its low-mid weight, manageable seat height, and torquey but unintimidating parallel-twin engine, though the listed category of 'Super motard' does not match this bike's actual adventure-touring/standard
PurposeBuilt primarily as a practical, fuel-efficient all-rounder for commuting and light touring rather than outright speed or track performance.
Rider FitThe 831mm seat height and moderate 214kg wet weight make it accessible to riders of average height and modest upper-body strength.
CharacterA relaxed, torque-friendly twin with a low-revving character that rewards smooth, unhurried riding over aggressive throttle inputs.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing high-speed thrills, track days, or serious off-road adventure riding.

2018 Honda NC700X Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 831mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2018 Honda NC700X, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
