Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive two-stroke enduro machine.
Purpose	Built purely for technical enduro and trail riding, not for street commuting or highway travel.
Rider Fit	Its tall 960mm seat height and minimal seating comfort demand good rider fitness, leg length, and standing-riding stamina.
Character	A lightweight, punchy two-stroke that rewards aggressive, momentum-based riding and rewards precise throttle control.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for beginners, short riders, or anyone wanting a comfortable daily or long-distance road bike.

At 940mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2005 GAS GAS EC 250, 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.
