Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to beginners, kids, or casual riders looking for a small, unintimidating pit bike rather than experienced riders seeking performance.
PurposeIt's designed for recreational backyard riding, pit bike track fun, and light off-road play rather than any serious transportation or racing role.
Rider FitIts tiny 740 mm seat height, short wheelbase, and featherweight 64 kg frame make it extremely easy to handle for smaller or younger riders.
CharacterThe Gazelle is a playful, toy-like mini enduro with just enough power to be fun but far too little to be taken seriously as a real off-road machine.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for taller adults, highway or touring use, passengers, or anyone needing genuine speed or long-distance capability.

2016 Orion Gazelle Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Orion Gazelle, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 degrees and an upright 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.
