Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders or returning riders thanks to its modest power delivery and relaxed cruiser ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back cruising and boulevard riding rather than outright speed or sport performance.
Rider FitLow seat height and a forward, feet-forward cruiser stance make it accessible to shorter riders, though its 250kg wet weight demands some care at low speed.
CharacterA classic air-cooled cruiser with a smooth triple-engine character, offering easygoing torque and understated retro styling over aggressive performance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed touring performance.

2009 Triumph Speedmaster Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Triumph Speedmaster, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright 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.
