Rider Profile

Best For	This is a youth-to-teen competition motocross bike built for developing riders who have already outgrown smaller minicycles, not for adult beginners or road riders.
Purpose	It exists purely for motocross and off-road competition among junior riders, prioritizing light weight, high-rev two-stroke power delivery, and race-ready suspension over comfort or practicality.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height, minimal weight, and compact dimensions suit smaller, lighter riders, typically pre-teens to young teens, rather than full-sized adults.
Character	Expect a peaky, high-revving two-stroke power delivery, razor-sharp handling, and a chassis that rewards aggressive, active riding on rough motocross terrain.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not suited for adult commuting, road use, touring, carrying passengers, or riders who need a forgiving, low-maintenance machine.

Units

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

Feet:

At 864mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2010 Yamaha YZ 85LW, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
