Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-power cruiser well suited to beginners and riders easing into the custom/cruiser style.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, low-speed cruising and short commutes rather than performance riding.
Rider FitThe low 688mm seat height and light steering make it accessible to shorter riders and those new to bigger bikes.
CharacterA classic small-displacement V-twin cruiser that trades outright speed for laid-back styling and easy manageability.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway-speed touring capability, off-road use, or genuine sport performance.

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

2016 Keeway Blackster 250 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 2016 Keeway Blackster 250, 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.
