Rider Profile

Best ForThis trials-style machine suits absolute beginners and skilled trials riders alike, since its low power makes it forgiving while its light, nimble chassis rewards technical skill.
PurposeBuilt specifically for classic trials riding and technical low-speed obstacle work rather than any kind of speed or distance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and featherweight build make it accessible to smaller or less physically strong riders, though balance and core control matter more than strength.
CharacterA playful, purist, back-to-basics machine for riders who enjoy finesse, balance, and precision over raw power or comfort.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for anyone wanting highway speed, long-distance touring, passenger carrying, or general road commuting.

2020 Sherco TY Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Sherco TY Classic, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 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.
