Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who already have basic off-road or motard experience, given its tall seat, light weight, and supermoto-style street tires on a dirt-focused chassis.
PurposeBest suited to playful hooligan-style street riding, urban backroad blasts, and light trail or fire-road exploration rather than serious touring or top-speed work.
Rider FitAt just 120 kg dry with a 960 mm seat height, it demands an active, standing-ready riding style but rewards shorter or lighter riders with easy manageability once moving.
CharacterIt behaves like a lightweight, torquey single-cylinder motard - eager, flickable, and fun in tight environments but nervous and buzzy at sustained highway speeds.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders wanting long-distance comfort, a passenger-friendly setup, or genuine high-speed touring capability.

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

Feet:

At 960mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2016 Cleveland Hooligun 450X, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
