Rider Profile

Best For	This is a beginner-friendly ATV, not a street motorcycle, so this profile is a mismatch with typical road-rider expectations but suits new to intermediate off-road riders well.
Purpose	Built as a utility and light-recreational four-wheeler for trails, farm work, and casual off-road exploring rather than speed or road use.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height, automatic clutch, and manageable weight make it accessible to smaller or less experienced riders without demanding much physical strength.
Character	A dependable, no-drama workhorse that favors simplicity, low-end torque, and steady traction over excitement or performance.
Not Ideal For	It is not suited for riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or paved-road performance.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 792mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Honda FourTrax Recon, 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.
