Rider Profile

Best ForSuits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a tall, substantial adventure-touring bike.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a long-distance adventure tourer that can handle light unpaved roads while remaining composed on highways.
Rider FitThe 840mm seat height and 214kg dry weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find it a handful at low speeds or off-road.
CharacterA characterful V-twin adventure bike with strong torque delivery, Italian handling feel, and a shaft-driven touring focus rather than outright dirt capability.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking serious technical off-road performance or a light, flickable machine for tight city commuting.

2009 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
