Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer and intermediate riders thanks to its modest power output and manageable low-end torque.
PurposeA cafe-racer styled roadster built for stylish short rides and weekend cruising rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and clip-on-style riding position mean a forward-leaning stance that can tire the wrists on longer rides but suits shorter riders well.
CharacterCharming retro looks paired with relaxed, torquey twin-cylinder delivery make it an easygoing, characterful ride rather than a thrilling one.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting sustained highway touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any off-road capability.

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

Feet:

At 749mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Triumph Street Cup, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
