Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate or experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, lightweight, torquey single-cylinder machine.
Purpose	Built primarily for aggressive enduro and offroad riding with enough punch and top speed to also handle occasional road use.
Rider Fit	The tall 870mm seat height and light 139kg dry weight favor taller or more physically confident riders who can manage the bike standing on rough terrain.
Character	A rugged, high-revving big-bore single that rewards an active, dirt-focused riding style with sharp handling and strong low-end grunt.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for shorter riders, passengers, long-distance touring comfort seekers, or those wanting a smooth, vibration-free ride.

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 1997 KTM LC4 LSE, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
