Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-oriented enduro best suited to riders with prior off-road or dirt bike experience rather than complete beginners.
PurposeBuilt for serious off-road riding, trail competition, and technical terrain rather than road use or commuting.
Rider FitThe tall 740mm seat height, light 115kg dry weight, and aggressive ergonomics favor riders who are reasonably fit and comfortable standing on the pegs.
CharacterA sharp, lightweight, high-performance dirt machine with premium suspension components that rewards an active, athletic riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable daily commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or sustained highway touring capability.

2008 Rieju MRX 450 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 2008 Rieju MRX 450, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
