Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to intermediate riders who want an affordable, lightweight sports-styled commuter to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's built primarily for spirited city and short-distance riding rather than outright speed or long-haul touring.
Rider FitIts low weight, modest seat height, and narrow frame make it easy to manage for riders of most heights and builds.
CharacterIt has a sporty, aggressive-looking small-displacement single that rewards revving and nimble handling over raw power.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders seeking highway touring comfort, high-speed performance, or off-road capability.

2011 TVS Apache 150 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 TVS Apache 150, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
