Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to novice-to-intermediate off-road riders, as the light chassis and 2-stroke power delivery are forgiving but still reward developing throttle control.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight, nimble 2-stroke enduro machine for trail riding, tight woods sections, and technical off-road terrain rather than speed or distance.
Rider FitThe very low dry weight and tall but slim seat height make it manageable for smaller or lighter riders, though the 940mm seat still demands reasonable inseam length.
CharacterA playful, flickable dirt bike with premium suspension components and a race-bred feel typical of small-displacement 2-stroke enduros.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger, or riders wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance road-going machine.

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

Feet:

At 940mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2008 GAS GAS EC 200 Hobby, 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.
