Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders or those wanting an easygoing, low-stress machine rather than an outright performance bike.
PurposeBuilt as a simple, affordable allround commuter and light utility bike rather than a specialist tool for speed, touring, or off-road work.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and 138kg dry weight make it manageable for riders of average or shorter stature and easy to handle at low speeds.
CharacterA modest single-cylinder two-stroke with carburetted fueling gives it a light, buzzy, no-frills character typical of small-displacement budget bikes.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking highway touring comfort, serious off-road capability, or strong outright acceleration.

2008 Shineray XY250-5 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Shineray XY250-5, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
