Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding supersport best suited to experienced riders comfortable with high-revving engines and aggressive ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited canyon carving and track days where its razor-sharp handling and top-end power can be fully exploited.
Rider FitThe committed riding position, tall seat height, and high footpegs place significant weight on the wrists and demand good core strength for longer stints.
CharacterA high-strung, revvy triple that rewards precise inputs with thrilling acceleration and exceptionally agile, confidence-inspiring cornering manners.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good match for new riders, those seeking upright comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up travel.

2008 Triumph Daytona 675 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 Triumph Daytona 675, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
