Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement cruiser is well suited to beginners and riders who want a low-stress, low-intimidation introduction to cruiser-style riding.
PurposeIt's built as an entry-level custom cruiser for cheap, easy commuting and casual weekend rides rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and light 150kg dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle and paddle around.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, styled cruiser character with modest performance, favoring relaxed cruising over outright speed or sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking highway-speed touring, aggressive cornering, or any kind of off-road capability.

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

2008 AJS Regal-Raptor DD250E Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 AJS Regal-Raptor DD250E, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
