Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate riders who enjoy a characterful, torquey single and don't need outright speed to have fun.
PurposeA café-racer styled naked bike designed for spirited urban riding and twisty back roads rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe 810mm seat height and lightweight, narrow chassis make it manageable for most rider statures, though the big single's low-rev thumping character demands some acclimation.
CharacterRaw and characterful, with the classic big-single pulse, cafe-racer stance, and a limited-edition Angel Nieto livery that adds collector appeal over pure performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sustained highway comfort, pillion-friendly touring, or off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Derbi Mulhacen Cafe 659 Angel Nieto LE, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
