Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement cruiser is well suited to beginners and new riders building confidence on the road.
PurposeIt's designed for relaxed, low-speed cruising and everyday commuting rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and modest 176 kg dry weight make it easy to handle for riders of most sizes, including shorter or less experienced ones.
CharacterIt has a classic cruiser personality, with laid-back ergonomics, a V-twin-inspired look, and unhurried, easygoing power delivery.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting highway-speed touring, aggressive cornering, or any off-road capability.

2017 Hyosung GV 125 C Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Hyosung GV 125 C, 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.
