Brammo Empulse R vs Silence S01 ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Brammo Empulse R has a 800 mm seat; the Silence S01 sits at 805 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 80 cm for the Brammo Empulse R and 81 cm for the Silence S01.

That makes the Brammo Empulse R the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Silence S01 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
