Rider Profile

Best For	This is a first-motorcycle machine built specifically for young children just learning to ride, not for teens or adults of any skill level.
Purpose	It exists purely to introduce kids to off-road riding in a controlled, low-speed, supervised environment.
Rider Fit	It suits only very small, lightweight riders, with a tiny seat height and frame sized for a child's body.
Character	It's a simple, tough little trail bike with a throttle limiter, drum brakes, and a 3-speed gearbox that prioritizes control and safety over performance.
Not Ideal For	It is not suitable for adults, teenagers, road use, touring, or anyone seeking real speed or highway capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 560mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Suzuki DR-Z70, with a cramped knee angle of around 45 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.
