Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders comfortable with strong midrange torque and sharp, immediate handling.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive street riding and twisty backroads where its premium Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes can be exploited.
Rider FitThe upright but sporty stance and 825mm seat height demand a fairly tall rider and reasonable core strength for hard braking and cornering.
CharacterA muscular, characterful naked bike with a growling triple engine and a raw, aggressive road presence.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for new riders, long-distance touring comfort seekers, or anyone wanting off-road capability.

2015 Triumph Speed Triple R ABS 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 2015 Triumph Speed Triple R ABS, 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.
