Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-capacity cruiser is well suited to beginner and novice riders thanks to its light weight and low seat height.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, low-speed cruiser styling and casual around-town riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light 159 kg weight make it easy for shorter or less physically strong riders to handle confidently.
CharacterIt has laid-back cruiser character with V-twin charm delivered through a small, air-cooled engine rather than raw power.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders seeking highway touring comfort, high speed, or off-road capability.

2018 Suzuki Intruder 250LC Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 685mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Suzuki Intruder 250LC, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
