Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement two-stroke single is best suited to beginner riders or those wanting a simple, low-stakes commuter bike.
PurposeIt's built as a basic all-round runabout for short trips and light urban duties rather than performance or adventure riding.
Rider FitIts light dry weight and modest 820mm seat height make it easy to manage for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterSimple, low-maintenance, and unintimidating, this bike prioritizes practicality and easy handling over speed or refinement.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for highway touring, carrying a passenger over distance, or riders seeking strong acceleration or off-road capability.

2008 Shineray XY125-5 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 Shineray XY125-5, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
