Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate-to-experienced riders comfortable with a tall, light, sharp-handling single-cylinder machine.
PurposeBuilt for supermoto-style thrills: flicking through corners, wheelies, and attacking twisty tarmac or a mix of street and track days.
Rider FitThe tall 910mm seat height and firm, minimal suspension travel demand decent leg length and some tolerance for a stiff, engaged ride.
CharacterA lightweight, high-strung, torquey single that rewards an aggressive, playful riding style with razor-sharp steering.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger carrying, or a smooth, low-maintenance daily commuter.

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

Feet:

At 910mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2006 KTM 625 SMC, with a relaxed knee angle of around 150 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.
