Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level machine well suited to beginners or those returning to riding after a long break.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, low-speed cruiser-style commuting and casual around-town riding rather than performance or distance work.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle and balance.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, classic cruiser look paired with modest single-cylinder performance, prioritizing style and approachability over speed.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking highway touring capability, off-road use, or any kind of spirited high-speed riding.

2016 Keeway Superlight 200 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 730mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Keeway Superlight 200, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
