Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience on lightweight, high-revving bikes, since the small single-cylinder engine demands active gear use and momentum management to go fast.
PurposeDesigned for supermoto-style riding, mixing tight tarmac corners with occasional light dirt or gravel sections rather than serious touring or highway use.
Rider FitThe tall 900mm seat height and minimal weight of 117kg favor taller or more agile riders who can flick the bike around and manage the firm, sporty suspension.
CharacterA playful, flickable, corner-carving machine with sharp handling and supermoto attitude, prioritizing agility and fun over outright power or long-distance comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting high-speed touring, passenger comfort, or a relaxed, low-effort commuting experience.

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

Feet:

At 900mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2012 Husqvarna SMR125, with a relaxed knee angle of around 145 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.
