Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience who appreciate classic café-racer handling over raw performance.
PurposeBuilt for stylish weekend rides and short spirited backroad blasts rather than outright speed or long-distance hauling.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and forward-leaning café-style riding position demand reasonable flexibility and comfort with wrist load at low speeds.
CharacterA retro-styled parallel-twin with punchy low-to-mid range torque, air-cooled character, and nimble, engaging handling.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking modern touring comfort, high-speed performance, or any off-road capability.

2014 Triumph Thruxton 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 2014 Triumph Thruxton, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
