Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for absolute beginners and learners; low power, light weight and a low 770mm seat make it very manageable and unintimidating.
PurposeBudget urban commuter and short-distance runabout designed for cheap, economical everyday transport rather than performance riding.
Rider FitLight, compact and narrow with a low seat and upright riding position; easy to flat-foot and flick through traffic.
CharacterA basic, frugal little Chinese single with sporty styling but modest performance; simple, honest and cheap to run.
Not Ideal ForNot for experienced riders, highway use, two-up touring, or anyone wanting real speed or long-distance comfort.

2020 Lifan Hero 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Lifan Hero 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
