Rider Profile

Best ForThis 50cc minibike-style machine is best suited to beginners, young riders, or those wanting a fun, low-stakes learner bike rather than experienced riders seeking performance.
PurposeIt's designed as a lightweight, playful mini-enduro for messing around on trails, in yards, or urban obstacles rather than serious offroading or commuting distance.
Rider FitIts very low seat height and featherweight 83kg dry weight make it extremely accessible to smaller, lighter, or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe character is cheeky and nimble, rewarding playful, low-speed technical riding over outright speed or long-distance comfort.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for anyone wanting real highway speed, long touring range, or serious offroad capability against full-size enduro machines.

2012 Sherco Urban SU 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2012 Sherco Urban SU 50, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
