Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to newer or returning riders thanks to its moderate power, manageable single-cylinder character, and approachable handling.
PurposeDesigned as an affordable sport-touring commuter that can handle daily rides and light weekend trips with street-only tires and road-biased suspension.
Rider FitA seat height of 815mm and a fairly light 188kg dry weight make it accessible to riders of average and shorter stature.
CharacterThe single-cylinder engine gives it a torquey, easygoing feel rather than outright excitement, paired with modern touches like ABS, LED lighting, and a digital dash.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders wanting high-speed thrills, serious off-road capability, or long-distance two-up touring comfort.

2020 Voge 500DS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Voge 500DS, 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.
