Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to advanced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive enduro machine.
PurposeBuilt purely for technical enduro and off-road trail riding rather than street or long-distance use.
Rider FitThe tall 940mm seat height and minimal 118kg dry weight demand decent rider fitness and leg length, though the low mass makes it manageable for maneuvering off-road.
CharacterA light, torquey big-bore single with modern EFI, long-travel suspension, and a chromoly frame designed to attack rough trails with agility and control.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a passenger-friendly ride, or a highway touring 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 2009 GAS GAS EC 515 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.
