Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new and beginner-to-intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, low power, and forgiving, non-intimidating character.
PurposeDesigned as an entry-level adventure-styled bike primarily for commuting, light touring, and occasional mild gravel or unpaved road excursions rather than serious off-roading.
Rider FitThe 800mm seat height and 188kg curb weight make it very manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders to handle at a stop or in slow maneuvers.
CharacterA friendly, approachable all-rounder with a small-bore twin engine that favors smooth, predictable delivery over outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for experienced riders seeking strong highway overtaking power, serious off-road capability, or two-up long-distance touring comfort.

2019 Suzuki V-Strom 250 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 ABS, 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.
