Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from confident newer riders to experienced ones, thanks to a manageable power delivery and approachable, low-slung classic roadster stance.
PurposeA modern retro roadster built for engaging back-road riding, café-style commuting, and weekend blasts rather than any single specialized discipline.
Rider FitThe low 809mm seat height and 216kg curb weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterDelivers a torquey, characterful parallel-twin growl with agile handling, sharp Brembo brakes, and a satisfying blend of classic looks and modern componentry.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for long-distance touring in stock form or any off-road use, given its street-only tires, limited wind protection, and road-focused suspension.

2022 Triumph Speed Twin Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 809mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 Triumph Speed Twin, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
