Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with instant, linear electric torque delivery and razor-sharp sportbike handling.
PurposeBuilt primarily for aggressive cornering and track-oriented sport riding rather than long-distance travel or utility.
Rider FitThe high seat height, firm sport ergonomics, and low weight favor riders of average-to-tall stature with good physical fitness and confidence in an aggressive riding position.
CharacterSilent, instant-torque acceleration combined with premium Ohlins and Brembo componentry gives it a futuristic, precision-focused personality distinct from traditional combustion sportbikes.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for riders seeking long-range touring capability, off-road versatility, or passenger comfort.

2020 Lightning Strike Carbon Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 813mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Lightning Strike Carbon, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
