Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or scooter riders who want extra front-end confidence without needing a motorcycle license upgrade in most markets.
PurposeBuilt for urban commuting, offering enhanced grip and stability from its leaning twin front-wheel design rather than any outright speed.
Rider FitLow 780mm seat height, light 156kg weight, and automatic transmission make it very accessible for riders of smaller stature or less physical strength.
CharacterA practical, confidence-inspiring city runabout that trades performance for reassuring stability on wet or uneven urban surfaces.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway touring, high-speed riding, or anyone seeking a thrilling or powerful riding experience.

2017 Yamaha Tricity Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha Tricity, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
