Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for complete beginners and everyday riders; forgiving, light and low-powered with an easy clutchless drivetrain that anyone can master quickly.
PurposeA budget-friendly Asian-market cub built for short urban commutes, errands and school runs, prioritizing low running costs and fuel economy over speed.
Rider FitVery light at 91.5kg with a low 751mm seat and slim 705mm width; upright, compact ergonomics that suit shorter riders and easy footing in traffic.
CharacterA humble, dependable little workhorse-cheap, economical and endlessly practical, with no pretensions to speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway travel, touring, spirited riding or taller riders wanting power; the 97cc engine and 3.7L tank limit it to short, low-speed trips.

2015 Honda Wave 100R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 751mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Honda Wave 100R, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
