Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable managing a tall, heavy adventure machine both on pavement and rough terrain.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance, go-anywhere adventure touring with genuine off-road capability rather than outright speed or track performance.
Rider FitRiders should be reasonably tall and physically confident given the high seat height, substantial weight, and off-road stance requiring standing and maneuvering the bike.
CharacterA rugged, torque-rich shaft-driven twin with long-travel suspension and a rally-inspired persona suited to those who value durability and exploration over sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for new riders, city commuters wanting a light nimble bike, or anyone seeking sport-bike cornering thrills.

2019 Yamaha XT1200ZE Super Tenere Raid Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2019 Yamaha XT1200ZE Super Tenere Raid, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
