Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits newer riders or those upgrading from smaller commuters who want a manageable, low-stakes step into a scrambler-styled machine.
PurposeIt's built primarily for urban commuting and light weekend fun rather than serious performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a playful, retro-scrambler personality with modest performance, favoring easy handling over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for experienced riders seeking high-speed thrills, long highway touring comfort, or genuine off-road capability.

2019 Benelli Leoncino 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Benelli Leoncino 250, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
