Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level machine well suited to new riders or those on a restricted licence building confidence.
PurposeDesigned as a lightweight, low-powered naked bike for commuting and casual city riding rather than performance or long-distance use.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA modest, approachable little naked bike with limited power that rewards smooth, unhurried riding.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for riders wanting real highway speed, long touring distances, or off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 MZ RT-Striker 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
