Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have at least some prior experience, particularly those moving up from a smaller bike into a taller, adventure-oriented machine.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a versatile adventure-touring bike that handles mixed on-road and light off-road duty with ease.
Rider FitIts tall seat height and adventure-bike stance mean shorter riders may find it a stretch, though the weight is manageable once moving.
CharacterA refined, torquey triple-cylinder engine gives it a smooth, characterful power delivery that rewards relaxed, confident riding over outright aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a lightweight city runabout or a track-focused sportbike, as its size and touring focus work against sharp, quick handling.

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 2020 Triumph Tiger 800 Xrt, 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.
