Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new or returning riders who want a light, unintimidating classic-styled machine to build confidence on.
PurposeDesigned for relaxed, low-speed cruising and short leisurely rides rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA charming, retro-styled single-cylinder cruiser that favors simple, laid-back riding over speed or aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking highway overtaking power, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2017 Herald Roamer 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Herald Roamer 250, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
