Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and commuters thanks to the DCT automatic clutch and mild, low-stress power delivery.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a practical, fuel-efficient commuter and light tourer rather than a performance machine.
Rider FitThe low-ish seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to riders of varying size and experience, though it is not a lightweight bike.
CharacterA relaxed, torque-friendly parallel-twin character with an emphasis on smoothness, efficiency, and low-maintenance usability over outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp sport performance, aggressive cornering ability, or genuine off-road capability.

2016 Honda NC700X DCT ABS 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 2016 Honda NC700X DCT ABS, 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.
