Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a light, powerful, clutch-sensitive enduro machine.
PurposeBuilt as a dedicated competition enduro bike for tight trails, technical terrain, and off-road racing rather than street use.
Rider FitIts ultra-light 102 kg dry weight and tall 950 mm seat height favor agile riders who can handle standing riding and technical body positioning.
CharacterA sharp, race-bred two-stroke-style chassis feel from a modern fuel-injected single, delivering quick response and nimble handling in the dirt.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable, long-range road or touring machine, or for tall highway cruising duties.

2012 Sherco SE 300I 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 300I, 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.
