An All Road motorcycle quite often is high, heavy and equipped with a wind screen. They often guarantee a comfortable ride too. Your body position is upright and you often got lots of space for your legs. So it’s often a great bike for tall riders. Due to the high ground clearance pristine roads become a lot easier to ride. So this high ground clearance has it’s pro’s, but it also ensures a higher seat height. Does that mean you can only ride an Adventure or All Road bike when you’re tall? Definitely not!

Do you, as a small rider, dream of riding a heavy All Road bike? Just do it. REDRIDINGBOOTS rider Yvanka rode the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R from 2019 with a seat height of approx. 89 cm. She’s only 1.68 m tall. She misses 10 cm on both sides when the bike stands upright. Is that convenient? Not really. But do you need to reach the ground with two feet flat when you sit on a bike? Not really either. Standing still becomes a matter of timing and moving butt cheeks, which makes you more and more handy. Just keep rolling, if you have the choice. And in case of an emergency stop? Then you are so busy braking, possibly swerving etcetera that you won’t think about putting two feet on the ground. Trust your legs. You only need one somewhat strong one. Trust us, it’s more than enough.
