Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement sport-styled 125 is well suited to beginners and learner riders building confidence.
PurposeIt is designed primarily as an affordable, sporty-looking commuter for short urban and suburban trips rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe bike has a light, nimble, and approachable character with modest power delivery typical of an air-cooled 125cc single.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to experienced riders seeking high speed, long-distance touring comfort, or off-road capability.

2017 Kymco CK1 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Kymco CK1 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
