Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-intimidation machine well suited to beginners or riders stepping up from smaller displacement bikes.
PurposeIt's built as an entry-level cruiser for relaxed street riding and short trips rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA low seat height and modest weight make it easy for shorter or less experienced riders to handle at a stop and in slow maneuvers.
CharacterThe V-twin engine and cruiser styling give it a laid-back, classic cruiser feel with a soft-spoken exhaust note rather than outright punch.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking high-speed touring, aggressive cornering performance, or any serious off-road capability.

2013 Keeway V-Blade 250I Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 688mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Keeway V-Blade 250I, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
