Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and new riders; low power, light weight and a manageable 775mm seat make it easy and unintimidating to learn on.
PurposeA budget commuter styled as a sport bike, built for affordable everyday urban transport and short paved trips rather than genuine performance.
Rider FitLight 150kg body, low seat and fairly upright ergonomics. Wirespoked 17in wheels, telescopic forks and dual rear shocks give a simple, comfy commuter feel.
CharacterA humble, no-frills African-market 175 single: cheap, reliable-minded and easy-going. Sporty looks hide gentle carbureted, air-cooled performance.
Not Ideal ForNot for speed seekers, track riders, long-distance tourers, or anyone wanting real off-road ability; the modest 12hp engine tops out near 56mph.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2024 Apsonic Z-One 170, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
