Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly small-displacement machine, well suited to new riders or those with only a basic license tier.
PurposeDesigned as a lightweight commuter for short urban hops rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA humble, economical runabout that prioritizes simplicity, low running costs, and easy maneuverability over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking highway touring comfort, off-road capability, or any real sense of speed.

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Keeway RCS 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
