Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least a season or two of experience who want a confident, torquey machine for mixed road riding.
PurposeDesigned as a road-biased sport-tourer/adventure machine, excelling on highways, twisty backroads, and long-distance touring rather than genuine off-road terrain.
Rider FitThe 835mm seat height and 245kg wet weight demand reasonably average-to-tall stature and moderate strength for slow-speed maneuvers, though the balance makes it manageable once moving.
CharacterA versatile, torque-rich triple-powered allrounder that rewards confident riders with strong midrange grunt and stable, planted handling.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for true off-road adventuring, novice riders intimidated by weight, or those seeking a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

2011 Triumph Tiger 1050 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 833mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2011 Triumph Tiger 1050, 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.
