Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious enduro machine best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, high-strung competition bike.
PurposeBuilt purely for technical enduro and off-road competition rather than street use, with race-derived suspension and a featherweight chassis.
Rider FitThe tall 940mm seat height and minimal dry weight of 118kg demand good rider fitness and confidence standing on the pegs, though the light mass helps compensate for shorter riders.
CharacterThe liquid-cooled fuel-injected single, long-travel Marzocchi and Ohlins suspension, and chromoly Deltabox frame give it a sharp, responsive, competition-focused character.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good choice for commuting, passengers, or long paved touring, as it lacks comfort features and has a tiny fuel range.

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

Feet:

At 940mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2004 GAS GAS EC FSE 450, 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.
