Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to expert off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, lightweight, high-strung enduro machine.
PurposeBuilt as a competition-focused enduro machine for tackling technical trails, woods, and cross-country terrain rather than road use.
Rider FitIts tall 950mm seat height, minimal weight, and firm long-travel suspension demand good rider fitness and confident standing-up riding technique.
CharacterA sharp, high-revving DOHC single with race-bred suspension that rewards an aggressive, active riding style over technical obstacles.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for beginners, passengers, commuters, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance road or touring bike.

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 2015 Sherco 450 SEF-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.
