Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly machine, ideal for new riders or those learning on a small-capacity sport-styled bike.
PurposeDesigned as an entry-level sport commuter, it suits short rides, learner training, and light urban sport riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very accessible for shorter or less experienced riders to handle confidently.
CharacterIt has a nimble, approachable character with modest single-cylinder power delivery that rewards smooth, momentum-based riding.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited for riders wanting high-speed touring, serious off-road capability, or carrying a passenger over long distances.

2008 AJS CR3-125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 787mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 AJS CR3-125, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
