Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with some experience handling big, heavy cruiser-tourers, as the 349kg dry weight demands confident low-speed control.
Purpose	Built for relaxed long-distance highway cruising with panniers and a windscreen rather than sport riding or commuting.
Rider Fit	A tall, heavy machine with a low 700mm seat height that helps shorter riders reach the ground despite its substantial bulk.
Character	A big-torque British cruiser that delivers effortless, laid-back power with a distinctive parallel-twin 270-degree firing pulse.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering performance, track days, or off-road capability.

2016 Triumph Thunderbird LT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Triumph Thunderbird LT, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
