Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate-to-experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, high-revving enduro machine.
PurposeBuilt for competitive enduro and technical trail riding rather than commuting or highway travel.
Rider FitThe tall 37.6 inch seat height and lightweight 249 lb chassis favor taller or more agile riders confident standing and maneuvering the bike over rough terrain.
CharacterA sharp, responsive dirt-focused machine with a peaky high-strung engine character typical of a fuel-injected 250cc off-road four-stroke.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long-distance paved touring.

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

Feet:

At 965mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2015 Yamaha WR250F, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright 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.
