Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a low-powered, lightweight machine best suited to beginners or those wanting a simple, non-intimidating bike to learn on.
PurposeIt's built as a basic, affordable enduro-styled commuter rather than a serious off-road or performance machine.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt's an unpretentious, low-stress runabout that prioritizes fuel economy and simplicity over speed or refinement.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking highway touring capability, high speeds, or serious rugged off-road performance.

2012 Lifan LF150-2 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 2012 Lifan LF150-2, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and an upright 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.
