Rider Profile

Best ForThis lightweight two-stroke enduro suits beginner to intermediate riders who want to learn throttle and clutch control off-road.
PurposeBuilt for trail riding, tight woods, and technical offroad terrain rather than speed or long distance travel.
Rider FitIts low dry weight and tall but slim seat make it easy to maneuver and flick around for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA nimble, high-revving two-stroke that rewards an aggressive, active riding style and rewards skillful clutch use over raw power.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long touring, or riders wanting a comfortable, high-speed street-capable machine.

1998 KTM 125 LC2 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 1998 KTM 125 LC2, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
