Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-intimidation machine well suited to beginners or riders returning to biking after a long break.
PurposeIt is best thought of as a stylish retro-styled commuter and light leisure bike rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low seat height and lightweight 147 kg dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, café-racer-inspired personality with modest, unhurried performance and simple analog charm despite the digital dash.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking high speed, serious touring range, or genuine off-road capability.

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2020 Herald Brat 250, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
