Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a youth motocross machine built for young, developing riders progressing through the amateur ranks, not for adult beginners or experienced adults.
PurposeIt exists purely for competitive motocross track use, designed to help young riders learn race craft and jumps before stepping up to bigger displacement bikes.
Rider FitIts tiny 875 mm seat height and 74 kg weight are tailored to lightweight, smaller-statured young riders, not adult-sized bodies.
CharacterNimble, high-revving, and eager, this little single-cylinder two-stroke-style four-stroke rewards aggressive, energetic riding and quick direction changes.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for adult riders, road use, touring, commuting, or carrying a passenger.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 875mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2009 Suzuki RM85L, 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.
