Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to new and returning riders thanks to its modest power output and manageable weight.
Purpose	Designed as an entry-level adventure-touring machine for commuting, light travel, and occasional gravel roads rather than serious off-roading or performance riding.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height and light overall weight make it accessible to shorter and less physically strong riders.
Character	A friendly, easygoing small-displacement adventure bike that prioritizes approachability and efficiency over outright speed or rugged capability.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking high-speed performance, serious off-road capability, or heavy long-distance two-up touring.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Suzuki V-Strom 250, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
