Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very tall, very heavy cruiser with immense low-end torque.
Purpose	Built as a torque-monster cruiser for relaxed highway cruising and effortless roll-on acceleration rather than for cornering or track work.
Rider Fit	At over 320 kg dry with a low seat height, it is physically manageable at a standstill but demands strength and confidence to muscle around in slow maneuvers and tight parking.
Character	The huge 2.3-liter inline-triple gives it a unique character, dominated by massive torque delivery, a deep exhaust growl, and a stately, unhurried demeanor.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders seeking agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride through twisty roads.

Units

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 2009 Triumph Rocket III Classic, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
