Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a small-displacement pit bike best suited to beginners, kids, or experienced riders looking for casual off-road fun rather than serious performance riding.
PurposeDesigned for recreational dirt riding, backyard trails, and pit bike style play rather than commuting or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts very low seat height and lightweight 69 kg dry weight make it extremely easy to handle for smaller or younger riders, though taller adults will feel cramped.
CharacterA playful, simple, and forgiving minibike with modest single-cylinder power that rewards tossing it around rather than outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway use, long touring trips, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking real off-road performance on demanding terrain.

2016 Orion Junior Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2016 Orion Junior, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
