Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least intermediate experience who appreciate a torquey twin and a tall, long-travel chassis that rewards deliberate inputs.
PurposeA premium retro-scrambler built for stylish all-road riding, light green-laning, and weekend touring rather than outright speed or hardcore off-roading.
Rider FitThe tall 870mm seat height and 207kg dry weight demand reasonably good leg length and some upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvers and off-road standing.
CharacterA charismatic, high-quality machine that blends classic looks with modern electronics, rewarding riders who value character and craftsmanship over raw performance.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, absolute beginners, or anyone seeking a lightweight commuter or a track-focused sportbike.

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2022 Triumph Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen, with a relaxed knee angle of around 145 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.
