Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to beginner or intermediate riders, given its modest top speed, low weight, and unremarkable single-cylinder output; note the unusual 16-inch front/rear tyre sizing and low ground clearance for an 'enduro' suggest this is more of a road-biased
PurposeDesigned as an entry-level dual-purpose or lightweight commuter with off-road styling rather than a serious trail machine.
Rider FitThe low 790mm seat height and light dry weight of 142kg make it very approachable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA simple, budget-oriented single-cylinder bike that prioritizes easy handling and low running costs over outright performance or refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking genuine off-road capability, highway touring comfort, or spirited performance riding.

2016 Veli VL400 GS 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 2016 Veli VL400 GS, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
