Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits newer riders or those upgrading from smaller commuter bikes who want a manageable step into sportier single-cylinder machines.
PurposeIt's built primarily as an affordable, everyday sport-styled commuter rather than a serious performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitA seat height of 790mm and a dry weight under 160kg make it accessible and easy to manage for riders of average or smaller stature.
CharacterThe Next 250 offers a light, nimble feel with modest single-cylinder power, favoring rideability and low running costs over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good choice for riders seeking high-speed touring capability, off-road ruggedness, or two-up long-distance comfort.

2015 Dafra Next 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Dafra Next 250, 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.
