Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and intermediate off-road riders thanks to its light weight, low seat height, and mild carbureted single-cylinder power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a trail and recreational dual-purpose off-road bike rather than a performance or commuting machine.
Rider FitIts low seat height, narrow chassis, and sub-260lb wet weight make it approachable for smaller or less experienced riders to handle and pick up.
CharacterA friendly, forgiving, low-stress trail bike with smooth, predictable power and nimble, flickable handling on tight or technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or two-up passenger capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 869mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2009 Yamaha TT-R230, 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.
