Will it fit you?

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to us
At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2000 Ural Solo, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
