Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some off-road or enduro experience, given its tall seat height, light but focused chassis, and lack of power output data typical of small-bore trail bikes.
PurposeBuilt primarily for technical off-road enduro riding rather than speed, commuting, or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe very low dry weight and tall 870mm seat height favor taller, fitter riders comfortable standing on pegs and manhandling the bike over rough terrain.
CharacterA lightweight, nimble, no-frills enduro machine that rewards an aggressive, momentum-based riding style over rocks, trails, and dirt.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway comfort, passenger carrying, or a plush, stable touring experience.

2016 HM Locusta 200 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2016 HM Locusta 200, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
