Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist trials/enduro machine best suited to riders with some off-road or trials skill rather than complete beginners.
PurposeBuilt purely for technical trials and enduro riding over obstacles, rocks, and tight trails rather than any road use.
Rider FitIts remarkably low 61 kg weight makes it extremely easy to muscle around and lift, though the 812 mm seat height demands reasonable leg length and balance skills.
CharacterA featherweight, high-clearance trials-bred trail bike that rewards precision, balance, and throttle control over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders wanting a comfortable, fast, or road-legal touring or commuting motorcycle.

2018 FX Bikes FX5 Gold Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 812mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 FX Bikes FX5 Gold, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
