Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a full-on competition motocross machine best suited to experienced off-road or motocross riders, not beginners.
PurposeBuilt purely for motocross racing and aggressive off-road riding on tracks and rough terrain, not for street use.
Rider FitTall seat height, minimal suspension travel comfort, and a light but demanding chassis require good fitness, strength, and off-road riding skill.
CharacterA razor-sharp, high-revving thumper that rewards aggressive input with explosive acceleration and razor-quick handling on dirt.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for commuting, touring, passengers, or riders wanting a comfortable, road-legal daily bike.

2010 Suzuki RMZ 450 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 955mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2010 Suzuki RMZ 450, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
