Rider Profile

Best ForGreat for beginners and commuters; the light weight, low power and easy manners make it approachable, while the 6-speed manual gearbox teaches clutch skills.
PurposeA sporty underbone built for zipping through dense Asian city traffic and daily commuting, with enough peppiness for fun spirited backroad rides.
Rider FitVery light (119kg) and compact with a moderate 795mm seat and 150mm ground clearance; upright, roomy underbone ergonomics that suit most riders.
CharacterA lively, fuel-sipping little rev-happy underbone-nimble, cheeky and cheap to run, blending scooter convenience with a real manual clutch and 6 gears.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway touring, two-up long trips, track work or off-road; riders wanting big power, wind protection or long-distance comfort should look elsewhere.

2022 Yamaha Sniper 155 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 Yamaha Sniper 155, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
