Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who have at least some experience with instant-torque electric powertrains and non-traditional gearbox behavior, though the manageable power makes it approachable for newer riders too.
PurposeDesigned as an electric naked/streetfighter for spirited urban riding and short sporty jaunts rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitA low 800mm seat height and light 213kg curb weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterAn innovative, quiet, torque-rich electric machine that rewards playful, twisty-road riding with immediate throttle response and agile handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting long-range touring capability, high top speed, or any off-road use.

2016 Victory Empulse TT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Victory Empulse TT, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
