Rider Profile

Best For	This is a beginner-friendly machine, well suited to new or younger riders learning trail riding basics and low-speed control.
Purpose	Built as a lightweight entry-level enduro, its purpose is casual trail exploration and learning off-road skills rather than performance or long-distance travel.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height, slim chassis, and light weight make it very manageable for smaller or less experienced riders.
Character	It has a simple, forgiving, low-stress character typical of small-bore air-cooled trail bikes from the late 1980s.
Not Ideal For	It is not for riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or carrying a passenger any real distance.

Units

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1987 Suzuki DR 100, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
