Rider Profile

Best ForSuits newer to intermediate riders thanks to its low seat height, modest power delivery, and relaxed cruiser ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt as a light touring cruiser for relaxed highway miles and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitLow 690mm seat height and manageable 270kg wet weight make it accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA classic air-cooled parallel-twin cruiser with a torquey low-end feel, laid-back styling, and factory-fitted touring extras like a windscreen and panniers.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking aggressive acceleration, sharp cornering ability, or any off-road capability.

2014 Triumph America LT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2014 Triumph America LT, 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.
