Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the given specifications are for a Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE, not a 'Suzuki Trojan', so this profile is based on that adventure-touring machine; best suited to riders with at least intermediate experience who are comfortable managing a tall, torquey adv
PurposeBuilt as a long-distance adventure tourer that can genuinely tackle unpaved roads and light off-road trails while remaining capable on the highway.
Rider FitThe 880mm seat height and 252kg wet weight demand a reasonably tall inseam and some upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvers and picking the bike up off-road.
CharacterA rugged, big-hearted V-twin adventure machine that favors torque and stability over outright speed, rewarding confident, exploratory riders.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for short riders, absolute beginners, or anyone wanting a lightweight commuter or track-focused sportbike.

2016 Suzuki Trojan Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Suzuki Trojan, 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.
