Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for beginners and returning riders; forgiving power, low weight and electric start make it very approachable for learning both on and off road.
Purpose	A friendly dual-sport for trail exploring, light off-road fun and easy street commuting on mixed surfaces.
Rider Fit	Tall but light at 267 lb with a 31.9 in seat and upright, roomy ergonomics; slim, easy to flat-foot for most riders and effortless to maneuver.
Character	Mild, unintimidating and playful. A soft air-cooled thumper that rewards relaxed riding rather than speed, happiest on trails and around town.
Not Ideal For	Not for highway touring, two-up trips, aggressive off-road racing or riders craving power; the small tank and modest engine limit range and pace.

Units

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Honda CRF230L, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright 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.
