Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for patient, mechanically curious riders rather than speed seekers, since it behaves more like a motorized pack mule than a conventional motorcycle.
PurposeIt exists purely to haul gear and riders over extremely rough, roadless terrain at a crawl, using two-wheel drive traction rather than horsepower to get the job done.
Rider FitRiding it well demands balance and low-speed bike-handling skill more than strength, though its unusual twin-wheel-drive feel and lack of rear suspension take some getting used to.
CharacterIt has a rugged, utilitarian, almost tractor-like personality, prioritizing unstoppable traction and simplicity over comfort, speed, or refinement.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for anyone wanting highway capability, cornering agility, plush comfort, or any kind of speed, since it tops out near 56 mph and makes only 7 horsepower.

2015 Rokon Scout Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 813mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Rokon Scout, 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.
