Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a lightweight 50cc minibike-style machine best suited to young or novice riders learning the basics of clutch and gear control.
PurposeIt's designed as a small-capacity, adventure-styled fun bike for supervised off-road play and light urban use rather than serious performance riding.
Rider FitIts low dry weight of 83 kg and 850mm seat height make it very manageable for smaller or lighter riders, including teenagers.
CharacterThe bike has a playful, nimble, dirt-bike-like character thanks to its featherweight chassis, long-travel suspension, and tiny two-stroke engine, though it offers minimal outright power.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger, or any rider seeking real speed or long-distance comfort.

2012 Sherco Urban SU 50 Access 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 Access, 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.
