Rider Profile

Best For	This bike demands an experienced, skilled rider comfortable with extreme power delivery and track-focused dynamics.
Purpose	Built as a homologation-grade superbike, it exists primarily for track days, canyon carving, and outright speed rather than everyday transport.
Rider Fit	Riders need a fit, athletic build to manage the aggressive forward-leaning riding position and the physical demands of high-speed cornering.
Character	It suits riders who crave razor-sharp handling, top-tier electronics, and race-derived performance above all else.
Not Ideal For	It is not suited for commuters, touring riders, or anyone seeking comfort, storage, or a relaxed upright seating position.

Units

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

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2016 Aprilia RSV4 Factory, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
