Rider Profile

Best ForSuits intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a tall, substantial adventure-touring machine.
PurposeBuilt primarily for long-distance touring and mixed on/off-road adventure riding rather than outright sport performance.
Rider FitThe 865mm seat height and 225kg wet weight demand reasonably good height and confidence handling a bulky bike at low speed.
CharacterA torquey, easygoing V-twin adventure bike that rewards relaxed, all-day riding over aggressive track manners.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a lightweight, razor-sharp sportbike or a dedicated hardcore off-road enduro machine.

2013 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Adventure 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 2013 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Adventure, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
