Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-intimidation cruiser well suited to beginners and riders returning to biking after a break.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, low-speed cruising around town and short scenic rides rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a classic cruiser feel, with V-twin-style character and torque delivered low in the rev range rather than a rush of top-end power.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good choice for highway-speed touring, aggressive cornering, or off-road use given its modest power and limited suspension travel.

2016 Keeway Blackster 250 EFI 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 EFI, 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.
