Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer or intermediate riders who want a light, forgiving bike to build confidence both on and off paved roads.
PurposeDesigned as a lightweight enduro for mixed dirt and street use rather than outright speed or highway cruising.
Rider FitIts slim, low-mass enduro build makes it easy to handle for smaller or less physically strong riders, including standing and maneuvering off-road.
CharacterA nimble, high-strung two-stroke single that rewards revving it out and flicking it through tight trails or city traffic.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sustained highway speeds, long-distance comfort, or a passenger-friendly setup.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 1991 Gilera Apache 125, 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.
