Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and intermediate off-road riders thanks to its light weight, single-speed simplicity, and smooth, predictable electric power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight electric trail and enduro trainer for technical off-road riding, not as a machine for speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts low dry weight and manageable seat height make it accessible to smaller or less physically strong riders who might struggle with a full-size enduro bike.
CharacterA quiet, low-maintenance, instant-torque trail companion that rewards smooth throttle control and precise line choice over outright aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders wanting sustained high speed, long touring range, passenger carrying, or paved road commuting.

2012 KTM Freeride E Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2012 KTM Freeride E, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
