Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to beginners, kids, or casual riders looking for a small, low-powered pit bike rather than an experienced rider seeking performance.
PurposeDesigned for casual off-road play, trail messing about, and low-stakes recreational riding rather than serious enduro competition or road use.
Rider FitIts tiny size, low dry weight, and modest seat height make it very unintimidating and manageable for smaller or lighter riders.
CharacterA cheap, lightweight, simple air-cooled pit bike that prioritizes fun and tossability over speed, refinement, or long-distance capability.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway riding, touring, carrying a passenger, or anyone wanting genuine performance or long-term durability.

2016 Orion RFZ 125 Open 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 RFZ 125 Open, 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.
