Rider Profile

Best For	This is a beginner-friendly trail bike best suited to younger or smaller riders and newcomers to off-road riding.
Purpose	It is designed for light trail riding, off-road learning, and casual dirt play rather than any road-going performance use.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and light overall weight make it very manageable for smaller-statured or less experienced riders to handle and pick up.
Character	It has a friendly, forgiving, low-intimidation character with modest single-cylinder power delivery suited to learning throttle and clutch control off-road.
Not Ideal For	It is not suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking speed or high-performance handling.

Units

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Kawasaki KLX140L, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
