Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from newer intermediates to experienced cruiser fans who want a torquey, easygoing bike rather than an outright performance machine.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a stylish bobber-cruiser for relaxed street riding and short scenic rides rather than speed, distance, or off-road use.
Rider FitLow seat height and modest weight make it approachable, but limited suspension travel and a solo seat mean comfort drops on rough roads or long stints.
CharacterA characterful, torque-rich parallel twin with classic bobber styling that rewards relaxed, low-to-mid RPM riding over aggressive cornering or acceleration.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a passenger-friendly tourer, an off-road capable machine, or a bike focused on outright speed and cornering agility.

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 Gold Line, 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.
