Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for highly experienced riders, given its exotic turbocharged V6 powertrain, sharp power delivery, and one-of-a-kind exclusivity.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique, high-performance naked bike showcasing exotic engineering rather than practical everyday transport.
Rider FitA firm, sporty riding position combined with substantial weight and strong power demands confident, physically engaged riding rather than relaxed cruising.
CharacterA rare, artisan-crafted superbike-powered naked that blends premium Öhlins suspension, a turbocharged VR6 engine, and boutique styling into a true collector's machine.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for beginners, offroad use, or riders seeking a low-maintenance, mass-produced commuter or long-distance tourer.

2016 Horex VR6 Snowdance Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Horex VR6 Snowdance, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
