Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who can manage a high-revving, quick-steering middleweight with sharp throttle response.
PurposeBuilt for spirited backroad carving, weekend canyon runs, and lively urban riding rather than long-distance cruising.
Rider FitA compact, light chassis with a moderate seat height makes it manageable for most body sizes, though the firm suspension and forward-leaning stance favor a fit, active riding posture.
CharacterAn eager, high-revving triple-cylinder streetfighter that rewards aggressive inputs with razor-sharp handling and a characterful exhaust note.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, wind protection, or off-road capability.

2009 Triumph Street Triple Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Triumph Street Triple, 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.
