PurposeIt serves as a low-powered runabout for very short local trips such as commuting a few streets or running quick errands.
Rider FitIts light weight and low seat height make it accessible to smaller or less physically strong riders with minimal effort required to handle it.
CharacterIt suits a cautious, practical rider who values simplicity, low running costs, and easy legal access over performance or excitement.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for anyone wanting real speed, highway travel, passenger carrying, or any kind of off-road capability.

2015 AJS Firefox 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 735mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 AJS Firefox 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
