Best for
Built purely for motocross track riding and racing, not for commuting, road use, or general recreational riding.
Built for
A lightweight, single-cylinder four-stroke racer with a peaky powerband and razor-sharp handling designed for jumps, berms, and hard acceleration out of corners.
Not ideal for
Not suitable for riders wanting a comfortable daily commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or a long-distance touring machine.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Will it fit you?

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to us
At 955mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2015 Suzuki RM-Z250, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
