Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new or returning riders thanks to its low power output and light, manageable chassis.
PurposeDesigned as a small, nimble supermoto-styled machine for zipping around urban streets and light backroad fun rather than outright speed.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA cheeky, flickable little street bike with supermoto looks that feels playful rather than intimidating.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway touring comfort, serious offroad capability, or high top-speed performance.

2009 MZ 125 SM Gangsta Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 MZ 125 SM Gangsta, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
