Rider Profile

Best For	Note: the specifications provided are for a KTM 150 XC-W, a lightweight two-stroke enduro bike, not the KTM 1290 Super Duke R naked streetfighter named in the request, so this profile reflects the actual data given.
Purpose	Built purely for technical off-road riding, tight trails, and competitive enduro use rather than any road-going performance.
Rider Fit	Extremely light dry weight and tall seat height demand active standing riding and good off-road fitness, but the low mass makes it very manageable for its skill level.
Character	A raw, high-revving two-stroke enduro weapon that rewards aggressive throttle control and precise body positioning over raw straight-line speed.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for riders wanting a comfortable road bike, highway touring, or passenger carrying capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 KTM 1290 Super Duke R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
