Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for new riders or learner-licence holders who want cruiser style without intimidating power.
PurposeIt's built for short, styled cruising and making a visual statement rather than covering distance or chasing performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light weight make it very manageable for shorter or less physically confident riders.
CharacterIt has laid-back bobber attitude, with a hardtail-look rear end, chunky tyres, and a solo seat that prioritize looks over outright capability.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders wanting highway touring, passenger comfort, or any kind of spirited, high-speed riding.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2016 AJS Bobber 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 640mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 AJS Bobber 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright 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.
