Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners or riders returning to biking who want a low-stakes, easy-to-manage cruiser.
PurposeBest used as a light urban runabout and cruiser-style commuter rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low seat height and modest weight class make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA laid-back, low-revving small-capacity cruiser that favors relaxed styling and easy handling over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for riders seeking highway touring comfort, high-speed capability, or any off-road ambition.

2020 Lifan Lycan Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 701mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Lifan Lycan, 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.
