Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience who want a versatile middleweight adventure bike rather than a beginner-only machine.
PurposeBuilt as an adventure-touring all-rounder that handles mixed on-road and light off-road duty with a smooth triple-cylinder engine.
Rider FitThe tall seat height and adventure-bike stance favor taller or average-height riders comfortable managing a moderately heavy, upright motorcycle.
CharacterA refined, confidence-inspiring machine that balances everyday usability with genuine long-distance and light-adventure capability.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a hardcore track weapon or a lightweight dedicated dirt bike for technical off-road terrain.

2015 Triumph Tiger 800 XR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Triumph Tiger 800 XR, 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.
