Built for
A purposeful, rugged rally machine that prioritizes range and off-road capability over comfort or outright top-speed performance.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for new riders, commuters, or anyone wanting a comfortable passenger-friendly street bike.

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 2016 Yamaha WR450F Rally, 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.
