Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious off-road competition machine best suited to intermediate-to-advanced riders who already understand two-stroke power delivery and off-road bike handling.
PurposeBuilt specifically for cross-country and motocross-style off-road racing, not for street riding or commuting.
Rider FitThe tall 992mm seat height, kick starter, and aggressive suspension travel demand good fitness, leg length, and off-road riding skill.
CharacterA light, punchy, high-revving two-stroke that rewards aggressive, active riding with sharp agility and explosive but narrow power delivery typical of small-bore XC bikes.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for beginners, passengers, daily street use, or anyone seeking comfort, range, or a smooth, forgiving ride.

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

Feet:

At 992mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2014 KTM 150 XC, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
