Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to riders of any experience level thanks to its light weight and gentle, forgiving power delivery.
PurposeBuilt for trail riding, technical off-road exploration, and picking through rough terrain rather than covering ground quickly.
Rider FitIts low 115 kg dry weight and slim chassis make it easy to manage for shorter or lighter riders, though the 810mm seat height requires a reasonable inseam.
CharacterA charming, no-frills dual-purpose bike that rewards a relaxed, patient riding style over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway performance, long-distance touring comfort, or carrying a passenger regularly.

2011 Yamaha Serow 250 25th Anniversary Special Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha Serow 250 25th Anniversary Special, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
