Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and novice riders thanks to its low power output and easy-going, low-seat cruiser stance.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a low-cost, entry-level cruiser for relaxed street riding and short commutes rather than performance riding.
Rider FitThe low 740mm seat height and light dry weight make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA laid-back, classic-styled small-displacement V-twin cruiser that prioritizes cruiser looks and easy handling over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking highway overtaking power, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2013 Keeway Supershadow 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Keeway Supershadow 250, 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.
