Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for complete beginners or anyone who just wants simple, low-stakes transport without worrying about gears or clutch control.
PurposeBuilt purely for short, low-speed urban commuting and running errands around town.
Rider FitVery light and low, with a low seat height that makes it easy for shorter or less confident riders to manage at a stop.
CharacterAn unpretentious, economical little scooter that prioritizes ease of use and fuel efficiency over performance or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders who need to carry a passenger comfortably, cover long distances, or travel at anything beyond city speeds.

2015 AJS Modena 125 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 Modena 125, 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.
