CharacterA timeless, retro-styled parallel-twin roadster that blends vintage looks with modern reliability and rideability.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking sharp sport performance, aggressive cornering ability, or genuine off-road capability.

2024 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black Gold Line Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2024 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black Gold Line, 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.
