Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the specification list includes a second, unrelated set of figures (double wishbone suspension, 12-inch wheels) that appear to belong to a different vehicle, likely a UTV/side-by-side, and were disregarded in favor of the motorcycle-specific data; t
PurposeIt's built as a lightweight, affordable sport-styled commuter for learning proper riding technique rather than chasing outright performance.
Rider FitA low seat height and very light dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterThe small single-cylinder engine delivers modest, predictable power that encourages smooth throttle control and confidence-building rather than adrenaline.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good match for experienced riders wanting real highway passing power, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2012 Bennche Megelli 250 R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Bennche Megelli 250 R, 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.
