Best for: Built purely for technical enduro trails, woods riding, and competitive offroad use rather than road or highway travel.
Built for: A featherweight, high-revving two-stroke enduro bike that rewards aggressive, active riding with sharp handling and explosive low-weight agility over obstacles.
Not ideal for: Not suitable for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or a machine for sustained highway touring.

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

Units

At 960mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2022 KTM 250 EXC, 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.
