Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to new riders or learners cutting their teeth on a small-displacement sport-styled commuter.
PurposeDesigned as an affordable, sporty-looking 125cc runabout for city commuting and learner use rather than genuine performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA budget-friendly, race-replica styled single that prioritizes looks and low running costs over outright speed or refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for experienced riders seeking real performance, motorway touring, or two-up comfort over distance.

2016 Lexmoto ZSX 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 2016 Lexmoto ZSX 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
