Rider Profile

Best ForNote: specs given are for the Lexmoto LXS 125, used here as a stand-in for the similarly-classed Detroit 125; this bike suits new riders and learners on a restricted licence.
PurposeBuilt as an affordable, sporty-styled commuter for short hops and city riding rather than serious performance work.
Rider FitA low seat height and light 155kg weight make it easy to handle and manageable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterNimble and approachable, with sporty styling and modern features like fuel injection, liquid cooling, and a digital dash, but modest power keeps things beginner-friendly.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to experienced riders wanting real speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2023 Lexmoto Detroit 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Lexmoto Detroit 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
