Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of any experience level, including those newer to bigger scooters, thanks to the automatic transmission and manageable power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a premium maxi-scooter for comfortable commuting and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe 710mm seat height and 222kg weight make it approachable for most adult riders, though the mass is noticeable at low-speed maneuvering.
CharacterA refined, practical big scooter that blends everyday usability with a torquey single-cylinder engine and modern conveniences like ABS and a windscreen.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2013 Suzuki Skywave 400 Type S ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Suzuki Skywave 400 Type S ABS, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
