Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders comfortable with a tall, light, powerful big-bore enduro that demands active control.
PurposeBuilt for serious offroad riding and technical terrain, with enough power and top speed to also handle fast open trails and occasional road use.
Rider FitThe tall 910mm seat height and 145kg dry weight favor taller, fit riders who can manage its top-heavy stance and long-travel suspension when standing or maneuvering at low speed.
CharacterA raw, torquey V-twin enduro that rewards confident, aggressive riding and punishes hesitation with its firm suspension and minimal rider comforts.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for short riders, passengers, daily commuting, or anyone seeking plush comfort and long-distance touring ease.

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

Feet:

At 910mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2001 Highland 950 V2, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
