Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience who are comfortable managing a tall, torquey, 215kg-plus adventure-tourer at low speeds and on varied surfaces.
PurposeDesigned as a big-bore adventure-sport tourer, blending a punchy in-line triple engine with long-travel suspension for mixed road and light off-road touring.
Rider FitThe tall seat height and substantial dry weight demand reasonably long legs and moderate upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvering and picking it up off-road.
CharacterDelivers a characterful, torque-rich triple engine growl with confident highway pace and a commanding upright riding position.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, strict off-road enthusiasts wanting a lightweight dirt bike, or those seeking nimble, flickable city commuting.

2001 Triumph Tiger 955I Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2001 Triumph Tiger 955I, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
