Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level machine best suited to beginners or new riders building confidence on small-displacement bikes.
PurposeIt's designed as a lightweight commuter-styled sport bike for short city trips and learner use rather than performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very accessible and easy to manage for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a friendly, approachable character with modest power delivery and simple, forgiving mechanicals typical of small Chinese-made commuter sport bikes.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for experienced riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or serious off-road capability.

2015 Zontes Tiger 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 725mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Zontes Tiger 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
