Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a purebred competition enduro machine best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive dirt bike.
PurposeBuilt for enduro racing and technical trail riding rather than any road use, with a focus on suspension travel, ground clearance, and low weight.
Rider FitThe tall 950mm seat height and 102kg dry weight demand good rider fitness and leg length, though the light mass makes it very manageable when standing and maneuvering off-road.
CharacterA raw, high-strung racing tool with premium WP suspension and a hydraulic clutch, rewarding an active, skilled riding style over relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suitable for commuters, passengers, long highway touring, or riders wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance street machine.

2012 Sherco SE 250I Racing Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2012 Sherco SE 250I Racing, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
