Not ideal for
This is not a good fit for new riders, short riders, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-effort daily commuter or a two-up touring companion.

At 970mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2016 TVS RTR 450 AT Dakar, 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.
