Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginners and experienced trail riders alike thanks to its light weight and forgiving, low-stress power delivery.
PurposeIt's built primarily for light trail riding, exploring backroads, and off-road commuting rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low dry weight and accessible ergonomics make it manageable for smaller or less experienced riders, though the 810mm seat height may challenge shorter individuals.
CharacterIt has a friendly, easygoing nature with a torquey small-displacement single-cylinder engine designed for tractable, predictable control rather than thrills.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders wanting highway speed, two-up touring comfort, or aggressive sport-oriented handling.

2007 Yamaha XT 225 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 2007 Yamaha XT 225, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
