Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an exotic, race-derived machine built for highly experienced riders comfortable with extreme power-to-weight ratios and unconventional hub-center steering feedback.
PurposeDesigned as a boutique track and cornering weapon, prioritizing razor-sharp handling and exclusivity over practicality or long-distance capability.
Rider FitThe compact, aggressive riding position and high-effort handling demand a fit, engaged rider comfortable with committed sport bike ergonomics.
CharacterA rare Italian hand-built hyper-naked with a hub-center steering front end that rewards precise, deliberate inputs and delivers visceral, unfiltered feedback.
Not Ideal ForThis is not suited for beginners, commuters, passengers, or anyone seeking comfort, storage, or everyday practicality.

2016 Vyrus 986 M2 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2016 Vyrus 986 M2, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
