Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal bike for beginners and new riders thanks to its light weight, low seat height, and gentle, predictable power delivery.
PurposeIt's built as a classic-styled, lightweight commuter and learner bike suited to city streets and light neighborhood riding rather than performance or long-distance work.
Rider FitAt just 148 kg with a low 770 mm seat height, it's easy to handle, flat-foot at stops, and manage in slow-speed maneuvers like parking or U-turns.
CharacterThe TU250X has a charming, retro single-cylinder character with modest, relaxed performance rather than excitement or aggression.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for highway touring, carrying a passenger over distance, off-road riding, or anyone seeking strong acceleration or high top speed.

2017 Suzuki TU250X 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 TU250X, 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.
