Best for: Built as an exotic Italian supermotard, the DBX is designed for aggressive canyon carving, twisty backroads, and thrilling mixed on/off-road riding rather than outright top-speed runs.
Built for: It has the soul of a boutique Italian special, pairing a torquey Ducati L-twin with premium Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes for a raw, engaging, and exclusive riding experience.
Not ideal for: This is not the right choice for new riders, pillion-focused touring, or anyone seeking plush comfort over long highway distances.

Units

At 890mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2017 Bimota DBX, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
