Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a powerful, quick-steering naked with strong midrange punch.
PurposeBuilt primarily for aggressive road riding and technical cornering, with premium Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes rewarding a spirited pace.
Rider FitA moderately light 192 kg dry weight and 825 mm seat height make it manageable, though the upright naked stance and firm suspension favor riders comfortable with a sportier posture.
CharacterA muscular, in-your-face streetfighter that blends triple-cylinder torque with track-capable chassis hardware for a raw, engaging ride.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for new riders seeking a forgiving first bike or for long-distance touring comfort due to its firm setup and minimal wind protection.

2013 Triumph Speed Triple R 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 2013 Triumph Speed Triple R, 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.
