Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders who can manage a punchy, high-revving triple with a light, flickable chassis.
PurposeBuilt as a stylish retro-inspired naked roadster for spirited backroad riding and city cruising rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
Rider FitA low seat height and light 195 kg weight make it manageable for most body sizes, though the sporty solo seat limits all-day comfort.
CharacterA characterful, torquey in-line triple wrapped in a limited-edition retro package, delivering an engaging, raw and agile riding experience.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking long-haul touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any off-road capability.

2018 Yamaha XSR900 Abarth 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 2018 Yamaha XSR900 Abarth, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
