Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for newer riders progressing beyond entry-level bikes as well as experienced riders wanting a light, manageable sport-styled machine.
PurposeDesigned as an affordable single-cylinder sportbike aimed at spirited street riding and daily commuting rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA relatively light dry weight of 165 kg and a moderate 790mm seat height make it accessible to riders of average and shorter stature.
CharacterOffers a nimble, engaging ride with a revvy single-cylinder engine that rewards momentum-based riding on twisty urban and backroads.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high-speed highway touring, serious off-road capability, or two-up comfort over long distances.

2020 Dafra Next 300 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 2020 Dafra Next 300, 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.
