Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some prior two-wheel experience, as the light weight and sharp handling reward confident, active riding.
Purpose	Designed as a nimble supermoto for flicking through tight corners, urban streets, and playful backroad riding rather than outright speed or distance.
Rider Fit	Its low dry weight and slim chassis make it easy to manage for most body sizes, though the 800mm seat height and firm setup favor riders comfortable standing and shifting weight actively.
Character	A cheeky, flickable little machine that feels more like a motarded dirt bike than a road bike, happiest when being tossed between corners at a spirited pace.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger carrying, or high-speed highway cruising.

Units

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Sherco 125CC SM, with a stretched knee angle of around 160 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.
