Rider Profile

Best ForSuits beginner to intermediate riders who want an easygoing, low-tech cruiser without excessive weight or intimidating power.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising, short commutes, and styling-focused rides rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 690mm seat height and modest 246kg weight make it approachable for shorter riders and those less confident with heavier machines.
CharacterA laid-back, air-cooled V-twin cruiser with classic bobber styling, torquey low-end feel, and minimal frills.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking high-speed touring comfort, sharp cornering performance, or any off-road capability.

2024 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2024 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
