Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least basic scooter or automatic-transmission experience, including newer riders stepping up from smaller scooters.
PurposeDesigned as a practical maxi-scooter for daily commuting and urban-to-suburban travel with occasional longer rides.
Rider FitThe 768mm seat height and 210kg weight are manageable for most average-height adults, though the bulk requires some care at a standstill or in tight parking maneuvers.
CharacterA comfortable, torquey, and easygoing maxi-scooter that prioritizes smooth CVT power delivery and stability over outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or high-speed touring dynamics.

2012 Kymco Xciting 400 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 768mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Kymco Xciting 400, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
