Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-focused enduro machine best suited to riders with solid off-road skill who want a light, race-ready bike rather than a beginner-friendly trail bike.
PurposeBuilt for serious enduro racing and technical off-road terrain, with long-travel suspension and a featherweight chassis designed for aggressive trail riding.
Rider FitThe tall 950mm seat height and minimal cushioning demand good rider fitness, leg length, and standing-riding stamina, though the very low 110kg wet weight makes it manageable for maneuvering.
CharacterA no-nonsense, race-bred single-cylinder enduro bike that rewards an active, aggressive riding style with sharp handling and eager responsiveness.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for commuting, highway touring, carrying a passenger, or anyone seeking a plush, low-maintenance ride.

2012 Sherco SE 300I 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 300I 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.
