Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a youth motocross machine built for a child or young rider learning competitive off-road skills, not an adult of any experience level.
PurposeIt's designed purely for motocross track use, letting a young rider develop race craft on a properly scaled competition bike.
Rider FitThe tiny 760 mm seat height, 55 kg dry weight, and 65cc two-stroke engine mean it is sized exclusively for a small child's body and strength.
CharacterIt behaves like a genuine miniature race bike with a full-size-style chassis, upside-down fork, and disc brakes, rewarding smooth, progressive throttle control from its young pilot.
Not Ideal ForIt is completely unsuitable for adult riders, road use, touring, or carrying a passenger.

2008 GAS GAS MC 65 Cross Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 GAS GAS MC 65 Cross, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
