Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to advanced off-road riders who understand two-stroke power delivery and clutch control.
PurposeBuilt purely for competitive enduro and technical trail riding, not for road use or commuting.
Rider FitExtremely light dry weight and tall suspension travel demand an active riding style and reasonable fitness, though the low mass makes it manageable for many body types.
CharacterA sharp, responsive two-stroke enduro weapon that rewards precise throttle and clutch work with explosive agility over rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting comfort, passenger capability, long-distance touring, or a low-maintenance road-legal machine.

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

Feet:

At 950mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2016 Sherco 300 SE-R, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
