Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from confident beginners through experienced owners who want a characterful cruiser rather than outright performance.
PurposeBuilt primarily for stylish, relaxed cruising and short-to-medium rides where looks and feel matter as much as outright capability.
Rider FitLow seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to shorter riders, though the low-slung bobber stance limits ground clearance and legroom for taller riders.
CharacterA torquey, characterful parallel twin wrapped in classic bobber styling, delivering relaxed, satisfying low-rev performance rather than high-rev thrills.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking sharp sport handling, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

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 2022 Triumph Bonneville Bobber, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
