Feet:

At 658mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 Honda Shadow Aero, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright 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).
