Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-stress cruiser well suited to beginners and riders returning to biking after time away.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, low-speed cruising and short commutes rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Rider FitA low 688mm seat height and modest 170kg weight make it easy to handle and manage at a stop or in tight parking.
CharacterIt has the classic small-cruiser feel, with a V-twin-styled engine burble and laid-back riding position rather than sharp sporting manners.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting highway overtaking power, long motorway touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2013 Keeway Blackster 250I Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 688mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Keeway Blackster 250I, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
