Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and non-enthusiast commuters; twist-and-go automatic with light weight and low seat makes it approachable for anyone.
PurposeBudget urban commuting and short errands. Built to weave through Asian city traffic cheaply and efficiently, not for highways or distance.
Rider FitVery light 108kg with a low 770mm seat and upright step-through ergonomics. Compact, easy to paddle and park; minimal wind protection.
CharacterA humble, practical little underbone scooter. Frugal, nimble and unintimidating, prioritising convenience over any thrills.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway travel, spirited riding, two-up touring, or anyone wanting real power or long-distance comfort.

2017 Suzuki Skydrive 125 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 2017 Suzuki Skydrive 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
