Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with prior experience on large, heavy motorcycles who are comfortable managing weight at low speed and in tight maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances in comfort, with strong shaft-driven power delivery, weather protection, and integrated luggage for extended trips.
Rider FitAt over 300kg fully fuelled, taller and stronger riders will find it easier to handle at standstill and during slow-speed maneuvers, though the low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground.
CharacterA refined, torque-rich triple-powered tourer that prioritizes stability, plush suspension, and effortless highway cruising over outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for city commuting or aggressive cornering, or anyone wanting an off-road capable machine.

2017 Triumph Trophy SE Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Triumph Trophy SE, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright 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.
