Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginners and new riders who want a light, unintimidating machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's designed primarily for commuting and casual urban riding rather than performance or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for riders of smaller stature or those new to two wheels.
CharacterIt has a simple, unpretentious naked-bike personality focused on affordability and everyday usability rather than excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for experienced riders seeking strong acceleration, highway touring comfort, or off-road capability.

2013 Keeway RKS 150 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Keeway RKS 150, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
