Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and casual riders, including those just starting out on two wheels, thanks to its low seat height, light weight, and simple automatic-style belt drive.
PurposeBuilt as a practical urban commuter for short hops through traffic, running errands, and easy parking rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitVery approachable for riders of smaller stature or lower confidence, with a low 785mm seat and light, nimble handling that requires minimal physical effort.
CharacterA cheerful, no-fuss city scooter that prioritizes convenience, fuel efficiency, and maneuverability over speed or long-distance comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for highway travel, long-distance touring, off-road use, or riders seeking strong acceleration and high top speed.

2009 MBK Flame X 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 MBK Flame X 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
