Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who can manage a light, high-strung single-cylinder machine with sharp, immediate responses.
PurposeBuilt primarily for supermoto-style thrills: tight cornering, flickable handling, and aggressive road or track riding rather than distance or utility.
Rider FitIts low dry weight and tall seat height favor riders who are reasonably fit and comfortable with an aggressive, forward-leaning, off-road-derived riding position.
CharacterA raw, punchy, single-cylinder supermoto with go-kart-like agility, minimal weight, and a focus on corner-carving fun over refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking long-distance comfort, passenger capability, or a smooth, vibration-free ride.

2002 Husqvarna SM 400 R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2002 Husqvarna SM 400 R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
