Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or riders returning to motorcycling who want a light, unintimidating machine to build confidence on.
PurposeBuilt primarily for commuting, learning, and casual cruiser-style riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light wet weight make it very approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA friendly, low-key cruiser with modest single-cylinder power that rewards relaxed, easygoing riding over aggressive throttle use.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking high-speed highway touring, aggressive cornering performance, or off-road capability.

2017 Honda Rebel 300 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 691mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda Rebel 300, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
