Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a tall, powerful, 17-inch-wheeled sport-touring machine rather than true off-road novices.
PurposeDesigned as a road-biased sport tourer with adventure styling, excelling at fast highway miles and twisty backroads rather than technical off-road terrain.
Rider FitThe 835mm seat height and 228kg wet weight demand reasonably confident leg reach and moderate strength when maneuvering at low speed or off pavement.
CharacterA punchy triple-cylinder engine delivers strong midrange torque and a sporty edge, wrapped in a versatile, upright riding position for long-distance comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot the ideal pick for riders seeking a genuine off-road-capable adventure bike or a lightweight, beginner-friendly first motorcycle.

2010 Triumph Tiger Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Triumph Tiger, 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.
