Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for absolute beginners and budget commuters. Light, forgiving and easy to manage with minimal power to intimidate new riders.
Purpose	A no-frills economy commuter built for cheap, reliable daily transport in city and town traffic, prioritizing fuel efficiency over performance.
Rider Fit	Upright, roomy ergonomics with a low 805mm seat and featherweight 110kg mass. Narrow, thin tires and skinny frame make it effortless at low speed.
Character	A humble, dependable workhorse. Frugal, unfussy and simple with drum brakes and a 4-speed box. Values economy and durability above all else.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders wanting speed, highway touring, spirited cornering or track use. Drum brakes and 7.9hp leave nothing for performance seekers.

2021 Hero HF Deluxe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

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 2021 Hero HF Deluxe, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
