Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders who can manage a light, quick-steering naked bike with a strong power-to-weight ratio.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding and technical cornering rather than commuting comfort or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA tall-ish 870mm seat height combined with a light dry weight of 174kg makes it manageable for most riders but demanding for shorter or less confident ones at a standstill.
CharacterAn aggressive, sharp-handling naked bike with a torquey parallel-twin engine and premium chassis components that reward an active riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a plush, upright touring companion or anyone wanting to venture off-road.

2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 875mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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.
