Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience on lightweight, single-cylinder machines, as the tall seat height and lively power-to-weight ratio reward confident handling.
PurposeBuilt as a classic-styled lightweight single, blending retro street scrambler looks with genuinely capable off-road-oriented suspension and chassis.
Rider FitThe tall 840mm seat height and minimal weight bias favor taller or more agile riders comfortable throwing their leg over a dirt-bike-like stance.
CharacterA raw, characterful single-cylinder machine that feels light, flickable and engaging rather than fast or refined.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting high-speed touring comfort, passenger carrying, or long motorway stints.

2009 CCM CR-40 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 CCM CR-40, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
