Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level machine best suited to beginners or new riders building basic skills and confidence.
PurposeIt is designed primarily for light urban commuting and learning to ride rather than performance or long-distance travel.
Rider FitA low seat height and light 123 kg dry weight make it easy and unintimidating to handle for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt offers a simple, low-stress naked-bike riding experience with modest performance and easy manageability rather than excitement or speed.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for experienced riders seeking strong acceleration, sustained highway touring, or off-road capability.

2015 Keeway RKV 125R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Keeway RKV 125R, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
