Rider FitLow seat height and moderate weight make it manageable for most rider heights and builds, with an upright, relaxed riding position.
CharacterA classic British roadster that blends vintage looks with modern reliability, offering a smooth, torquey, and unhurried riding experience.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking sharp sportbike acceleration, aggressive cornering performance, or genuine off-road capability.

2014 Triumph Bonneville T100 Black 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 2014 Triumph Bonneville T100 Black, 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.
