Best for
Built as a dedicated enduro/trail machine for tackling trails, fire roads, and technical off-road terrain rather than for speed or long-distance pavement travel.
Built for
A lightweight, torquey, no-frills single-cylinder dirt bike that thrives on flickable handling and long-travel suspension over raw power or refinement.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders wanting highway comfort, passenger accommodation, or a bike optimized for daily commuting on paved roads.

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 945mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2013 Suzuki DR-Z400E, 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.
