Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new and returning riders thanks to its modest power delivery, manageable weight, and forgiving, predictable handling.
PurposeA classic-styled roadster built for relaxed street riding, weekend cruising, and enjoying the retro twin-cylinder character rather than chasing outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and moderate weight make it accessible for shorter or less experienced riders, though the wide bars and upright stance suit an average to taller frame best.
CharacterCharming, air-cooled parallel-twin retro machine that rewards a relaxed riding style with soulful engine feel and simple, classic mechanicals.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking high-speed performance, aggressive cornering ability, or serious off-road capability.

2011 Triumph Bonneville Sixty Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Triumph Bonneville Sixty, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
