Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some prior experience handling heavy, long-wheelbase cruisers, given the 341kg weight and 21-inch front wheel steering feel.
PurposeBuilt as a bold power-cruiser and boulevard bagger, blending Moto Guzzi's shaft-drive V-twin heritage with an exaggerated fat-front-wheel custom stance.
Rider FitThe low 740mm seat height helps shorter riders at a stop, but the substantial mass and long wheelbase demand decent upper body strength for slow-speed maneuvers and parking.
CharacterA charismatic, torque-rich cruiser that rewards relaxed, confident riding over aggressive cornering, with distinctive transverse V-twin pulses and shaft-drive smoothness.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp agility, off-road capability, or lightweight everyday commuting.

2019 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 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 MGX-21, 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.
