Rider Profile

Best ForA friendly, forgiving middleweight naked that suits new and returning riders as well as experienced riders wanting a light, low-stress bike.
PurposeBuilt primarily for commuting, urban riding, and casual weekend fun rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light weight, and narrow V-twin chassis make it accessible to shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterThe 90-degree V-twin gives a smooth, torquey, characterful feel with easy, predictable handling rather than aggressive performance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking high-speed touring comfort, long highway range, or any off-road capability.

2011 Suzuki Gladius 400 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Suzuki Gladius 400 ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
