Rider Profile

Best ForSuits newer-to-intermediate riders who want classic style without overwhelming power delivery.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed retro-styled rides, weekend cruising, and everyday commuting rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable curb weight make it approachable for most riders, though the wet weight still requires confident low-speed handling.
CharacterA classic air-cooled twin with soulful character, modest power, and easygoing manners rather than aggressive intent.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking high-speed sport performance, off-road capability, or long-haul touring comfort with heavy luggage.

2015 Triumph Bonneville T214 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Triumph Bonneville T214, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
