Rider Profile

Best ForA relaxed, moderate-power V-twin cruiser that suits beginner to intermediate riders comfortable with a low seat and long wheelbase.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and light weekend touring rather than outright performance or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 675mm seat height and manageable dry weight make it approachable for shorter riders, though the long wheelbase requires some deliberate effort at low speed maneuvers.
CharacterA classic cruiser character with belt-driven torque delivery, a relaxed riding posture, and easygoing V-twin power rather than high-rev excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking aggressive cornering performance, off-road capability, or high-speed sport riding.

2018 Hyosung ST 700I Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 675mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Hyosung ST 700I, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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). 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.
