Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for new or learner-permit riders thanks to its small-capacity single-cylinder engine and manageable power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a lightweight, stylish urban naked bike for commuting and short trips rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low 805mm seat height and 145kg wet weight make it easy to handle for riders of most heights and lighter builds.
CharacterA sharp-looking, modern naked bike with sporty styling that punches above its practical, entry-level commuter role.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to highway touring, high-speed cruising, or off-road use given its modest power and street-oriented tyres.

2022 Malaguti Drakon 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 Malaguti Drakon 125, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
