Rider Profile

Best For	This is an ideal machine for brand-new riders or commuters who want simple, low-stakes transportation without worrying about handling excess power.
Purpose	Despite being labeled 'Sport', this is fundamentally a budget commuter bike designed for cheap, reliable, everyday urban transport rather than performance riding.
Rider Fit	Its very low weight and low seat height make it extremely easy to manage for riders of smaller stature or lighter build.
Character	It has a humble, no-nonsense, utilitarian character built around fuel efficiency and mechanical simplicity rather than excitement.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not for riders seeking highway touring, spirited cornering, off-road capability, or any kind of high-speed performance.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Hero HF-Dawn, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
