Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious enduro machine best suited to riders with prior off-road or dirt bike experience, given its tall seat height, light dry weight, and race-oriented ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt for competitive enduro and technical off-road riding, this 450cc single-cylinder thumper excels on trails, hillclimbs, and rough terrain rather than pavement.
Rider FitThe 940mm seat height and minimal weight demand a rider who is comfortable standing on pegs, shifting body weight actively, and managing an aggressive, torquey big-bore single.
CharacterExpect a raw, punchy power delivery typical of a large-bore four-stroke single, paired with premium suspension components that reward precise, committed riding.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, commuters, passengers, or anyone seeking a comfortable long-distance road touring experience.

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 2009 GAS GAS EC 450 FSR, 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.
