Rider Profile

Best For	This bike is best suited to beginners, younger riders, or smaller-statured adults taking their first steps into off-road riding.
Purpose	It's a small-displacement trail and recreational off-road bike designed for casual dirt riding rather than speed or long-distance travel.
Rider Fit	The low 780mm seat height and light sub-90kg dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or lighter riders, including teens.
Character	Playful, forgiving, and easy to toss around on tight trails, it rewards a relaxed and exploratory riding style over aggressive throttle use.
Not Ideal For	It is not suitable for highway travel, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking real power and high-speed performance.

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Kawasaki KLX140, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
