Rider Profile

Best For	This heavy big-inch cruiser suits riders who already have experience managing substantial weight at low speed and in traffic.
Purpose	It is built for relaxed, torque-rich boulevard and open-road cruising rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
Rider Fit	At over 300kg and with a low, wide stance, it demands decent strength and confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or in parking lots.
Character	It has a strong, muscular character defined by huge low-rev torque, a thumping 270-degree parallel-twin beat, and unhurried acceleration.
Not Ideal For	It is not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

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 Nightstorm, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
