Rider Profile

Best For	A relaxed, low-power cruiser that suits beginner to intermediate riders comfortable with a heavier, low-slung machine.
Purpose	Built for laid-back cruising and classic-styled boulevard riding rather than outright speed or sport performance.
Rider Fit	Low 690mm seat height and manageable weight distribution make it accessible for shorter riders, though the 250kg wet weight demands care at low speeds.
Character	A traditional air-cooled cruiser with a torquey, easygoing twin-cylinder character and classic Triumph styling cues.
Not Ideal For	Not suited to riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring capability, or any off-road use.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Triumph America, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
