Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a 50cc sportbike-styled machine best suited to learners, license-restricted teenagers, or those wanting a lightweight bike to hone cornering skills before moving up in displacement.
PurposeIt's built as a small-displacement sport mini-bike, mimicking full-size sportbike ergonomics and handling for training, commuting short distances, or track-day fun on a budget.
Rider FitThe low dry weight and modest seat height make it very approachable for smaller or less experienced riders, with minimal physical strength needed to muscle it around.
CharacterExpect a rev-happy two-stroke feel with sharp, flickable handling that rewards spirited riding at low speeds rather than outright power.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway touring, carrying a passenger in comfort, or riders seeking strong acceleration and top-end speed.

2017 Rieju RS 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Rieju RS 50, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
