Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-level machine intended for young or novice riders, particularly kids and pre-teens learning to ride off-road.
PurposeBuilt for casual trail riding and learning basic off-road skills at low speed rather than any kind of serious performance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 111cc engine, low seat height, and light 76kg weight make it accessible to small or young riders with minimal strength or experience.
CharacterA friendly, forgiving, slow-and-steady trail companion with an automatic clutch that removes shifting stress and keeps the focus on balance and control.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for adult riders seeking speed, highway use, long-distance touring, or carrying a passenger.

2012 Kawasaki KLX 110L Off-Road Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 729mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Kawasaki KLX 110L Off-Road, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 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.
