Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to early-intermediate riders who want a light, non-intimidating machine to build skills on.
PurposeIt's best suited to short commutes, learning to ride, and casual sport-styled runs rather than serious performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe single-cylinder engine and modest output give it a docile, approachable character rather than a thrilling sporty edge.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for experienced riders seeking real straight-line speed, extended highway touring, or off-road capability.

2013 Hartford VR-200X Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2013 Hartford VR-200X, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
