Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-intimidation machine well suited to beginners or riders returning to biking after a long break.
PurposeIt's built as a light, simple commuter and casual cruiser rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy for shorter or less physically strong riders to manage confidently.
CharacterIt has a relaxed, classic-styled single-cylinder charm with modest, unhurried power delivery.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to riders wanting highway-speed touring, spirited overtaking power, or serious off-road capability.

2011 Suzuki ST 250E Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Suzuki ST 250E, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
