Will it fit you?

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to us
At 960mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2019 KTM 250 XC-W, 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.
