Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a supermoto for confident, experienced riders comfortable with a light, twitchy, high-revving single-cylinder machine.
PurposeBuilt for flick-it-anywhere cornering fun on tight tarmac, backroads, and supermoto track days rather than long-distance riding.
Rider FitThe extremely low dry weight and tall 870mm seat height suit riders who are fit, agile, and comfortable with an aggressive, standing-friendly riding position.
CharacterA raw, punchy, minimalist machine that rewards aggressive throttle and brake inputs with sharp, immediate handling.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting plush comfort, passenger capability, long highway touring range, or serious off-road capability.

2008 Husaberg FS 450E Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2008 Husaberg FS 450E, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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.
