Rider Profile

Best For	This is a specialist trials/enduro machine best suited to riders with prior off-road or trials experience, as its light weight and tall, narrow build reward skill more than raw power.
Purpose	Built specifically for technical trials-style riding and extreme low-speed off-road obstacle work rather than any road-going use.
Rider Fit	Its ultra-light dry weight and slim chassis make it easy to muscle around and balance at walking pace, though the tall seat height demands decent leg length and standing-based riding technique.
Character	A featherweight two-stroke trials-enduro hybrid that feels nimble, playful, and highly responsive to body positioning over rough or steep terrain.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance comfort, passenger carrying, or everyday paved commuting.

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2017 Scorpa 280 T-Ride, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
