Looking at these at the moment.
Can anyone advise whether they came as “ low / lowered “ versions or only produced as one size fits all?

If there is a low model available from factory is there any easy way, other than measuring, to identify one over a standard height model ?
Thanks in advance.
 
I don't know whether there was a factory lowered version (somehow I doubt it) - but if there was it must have been like a recumbent bike to ride.

90% of the bods I know have had to raise the bars, lower the pegs and fit a taller seat, just to get even vaguely comfortable. Many of those above about 5' 10" raise the suspension too...

PS. I've done all of the above and now I like it :D

PPS I should probably have bought a Triumph Scrambler instead :D :D
 
Wife has a factory lowered R nine T Pure. I am however not sure about the rest of the range.
 
Thanks guys.
Didnt think there was a low version but wanted to check. Having read what I had on here about mods, I wanted to avoid if there was such a version.
What I did find out was that the Turban and Scrambler accept tubeless tyres as they have spokes laced similar to GS models whereas on other versions of R Nine t you have to spec these as an upgrade option as the standard fitment will only accept tubeless tyres. Every day is a school day.
