Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, as the torquey triple and 17-inch road wheels reward confident throttle control.
PurposeDesigned as a sport-touring allrounder that favors paved roads, long rides, and mixed-condition commuting over serious off-road work.
Rider FitThe 835mm seat height and 232kg wet weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find it a bit tall and substantial at a standstill.
CharacterThe in-line triple delivers a distinctive, torque-rich growl with strong midrange pull, giving the bike a sporty yet relaxed everyday character.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a genuine dirt or adventure off-road machine, as its street-biased 17-inch wheels and road suspension travel limit rough-terrain capability.

2010 Triumph Tiger SE 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 SE, 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.
