Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some off-road or trials experience, though its smooth electric power delivery makes it approachable for motivated beginners as well.
Purpose	Designed purely as a lightweight electric cross/enduro trainer for tight technical trails, practice tracks, and skill-building rather than any form of road use.
Rider Fit	Its extremely low 108 kg weight and tall 870 mm seat height favor riders who can manage a tall, dirt-bike-like stance but benefit from the reduced physical fatigue of no clutch or gearshifting.
Character	A quiet, torquey, instant-response electric dirt bike that rewards precise throttle control and effortless low-speed technical maneuvering.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for riders wanting highway capability, long-distance touring, passenger carrying, or sustained high-speed performance.

Units

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2017 KTM Freeride E-SX, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
