Rider FitIts low seat height and very light weight make it easy to manage for riders of almost any size or strength, including smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA humble, unpretentious workhorse that values reliability, fuel economy, and ease of use over excitement or speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking highway touring, spirited cornering, off-road adventure, or any kind of outright performance.

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Suzuki Hayate EP, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
