Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung, high-torque cruiser with a wide rear tire.
PurposeDesigned as a muscular power-cruiser for confident boulevard cruising and long, relaxed straight-line rides rather than aggressive cornering.
Rider FitIts low seat height and forward-set stance suit shorter riders, but the substantial 299 kg mass demands solid strength and balance at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterA charismatic, torque-heavy V-twin cruiser with strong shaft-drive pulling power, a commanding presence, and classic Moto Guzzi transverse-engine feel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

2019 Moto Guzzi Audace Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Moto Guzzi Audace, 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.
