Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy custom bike with a big 21-inch front wheel that steers slower than it looks.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, fat-front-wheel power cruiser for style-focused boulevard cruising and long, relaxed highway stretches rather than aggressive cornering or performance riding.
Rider FitAt 356 kg wet with a low 740 mm seat, it is manageable at a stop for most heights but its sheer mass demands strength and confidence at low speed and when maneuvering or parking.
CharacterA muscular, unmistakable Italian cruiser with deep V-twin torque, shaft drive smoothness, and dramatic custom styling that prioritizes presence and cruising comfort over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking a nimble, flickable machine for tight city streets or twisty mountain roads, nor for anyone planning genuine off-road use.

2021 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 1400 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 2021 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 1400, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
