Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to intermediate riders who want a forgiving, low-stress single-cylinder machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's best suited to relaxed all-round riding, commuting, and light touring rather than any form of outright performance.
Rider FitThe tall-ish seat height combined with a modest 221 kg dry weight makes it manageable for riders of average height and build once underway, though the weight is noticeable at a standstill.
CharacterExpect a simple, torquey but unhurried single-cylinder character with modest top-end power and easygoing, predictable manners.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders chasing high speeds, aggressive cornering performance, or serious off-road capability.

1996 MuZ Saxon Voyager 500 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 1996 MuZ Saxon Voyager 500, 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.
