Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to younger or novice off-road riders, or experienced riders using it as a lightweight trials-style trainer, given its 50cc two-stroke enduro nature.
PurposeBuilt for junior enduro competition and technical off-road trail riding rather than any road-going speed or distance work.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight of around 83 kg and tall but slim seat make it easy to muscle around and flick over obstacles, though the 910mm seat height demands reasonable inseam length.
CharacterA nimble, high-revving two-stroke minibike-for-dirt that rewards aggressive clutch and throttle control on tight, technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a machine for highway travel, carrying passengers, or riders seeking comfort, wind protection, or long-distance touring capability.

2012 Sherco SE 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 910mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2012 Sherco SE 50, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
