Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and novice riders thanks to its modest power output and approachable, low-stress character.
PurposeA retro-styled scrambler aimed at relaxed urban riding and light weekend exploring rather than serious performance or off-road use.
Rider FitThe low-ish seat height and light dry weight make it manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterCharming and simple, delivering an old-school single-cylinder feel with easy, forgiving manners rather than outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders wanting sustained highway speed, serious off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort.

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Mash Scrambler 400, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
