Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders and returning riders thanks to its light weight, modest power, and forgiving single-cylinder character.
PurposeBuilt as a stylish, retro-styled commuter and around-town cruiser rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitLow seat height and a light 130 kg dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterOffers a classic, minimalist single-cylinder charm with modern EFI reliability, prioritizing style and simplicity over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking highway-devouring touring comfort, off-road capability, or genuine sport-bike performance.

2017 FB Mondial HPS 250 Hipster Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 FB Mondial HPS 250 Hipster, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
