Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can make use of its high-rev engine and sharp, precise chassis.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding, canyon carving, and occasional track days rather than commuting comfort or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA light, compact naked bike with a fairly high seat and forward-leaning stance that favors shorter, sporty rides over relaxed all-day sitting.
CharacterA revvy, high-performance triple with razor-sharp handling, strong brakes, and a playful, aggressive personality that rewards an active riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders wanting plush comfort, wind protection, big touring range, or any serious off-road capability.

2016 Triumph Street Triple R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2016 Triumph Street Triple R, 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.
