Rider Profile

Best For	This is a specialist machine best suited to experienced riders who already understand light, twitchy motorcycles and can manage a punchy single-cylinder powerband.
Purpose	Built as a supermoto weapon, it excels at tight, twisty tarmac, flick-flack direction changes, and aggressive cornering rather than any form of relaxed riding.
Rider Fit	At around 110 kg dry with a tall 855 mm seat, it demands an active, standing-capable riding style and rewards riders who are fit and comfortable shifting body weight constantly.
Character	Raw, minimalist, and razor-sharp, it feels like a motocrosser wearing street tyres, with instant steering response and a hard-edged, mechanical personality.
Not Ideal For	It is a poor choice for anyone wanting comfort, wind protection, luggage capacity, passenger accommodation, or long-distance touring.

Units

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

Feet:

At 855mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2005 KTM 525 SMR, 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.
