Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-stress machine well suited to newer riders or those returning to biking after time away.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, low-speed cruising and casual around-town riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically confident riders.
CharacterIt has the laid-back, classic V-twin cruiser character with modest performance and easygoing manners.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking high speed, sharp cornering ability, or serious off-road or highway touring capability.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2013 Lifan LF 400 V-Twin Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Lifan LF 400 V-Twin, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
