Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to younger or novice riders, often as a stepping stone into supermoto-style riding and sharpened bike control, though licensing and speed limits for 50cc machines mean it's not aimed at experienced highway riders.
Purpose	Designed for playful, minibike-style supermoto fun on tight tracks, car parks, and short twisty roads rather than serious transportation.
Rider Fit	Its light dry weight and low seat height make it very easy and unintimidating to handle, flick around, and pick up if dropped.
Character	A nimble, high-revving two-stroke minimoto that rewards aggressive throttle and brake inputs with sharp, flickable handling in tight corners.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for riders wanting sustained highway speed, long-distance touring, passenger carrying, or genuine off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2016 Sherco 50 SM-R, 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.
