Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner and novice riders who want a light, unintimidating machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's built as a small-capacity naked/dual-purpose commuter for short trips, learning, and low-speed fun rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light dry weight, and narrow build make it very manageable for shorter or lighter riders.
CharacterIt has a simple, low-stress, economical personality suited to easy everyday riding rather than thrills.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suitable for highway touring, carrying a passenger long distances, or riders seeking strong acceleration and top speed.

2012 Veli VL150-26 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 Veli VL150-26, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
