Bike to Height Ratio: Many people buy a bike after seeing its design, model or engine power but later regret it when they face problems in riding the bike. Not buying the right bike according to your height can become a headache for you. How well you can control the bike depends on your height.
It is often seen that people with short height have difficulty in riding heavy and tall bikes, while on the other hand, tall people do not have full confidence in riding less powerful and light weight bikes. In such a situation, selecting the wrong bike will prove to be a waste of your money. Let’s know how much weight bike you should buy according to your height…
Some suggestions according to height and bike weight
1. From 5 feet to 5.5 feet:
If your height is between 5 feet and 5.5 feet, then a light and small engine bike weighing between 110-140 kg will be best for you. Bikes in this range are light and are also easy to handle in traffic. If your height is this much, then it will be easy for you to handle bikes in the range of 100cc to 150cc. You can ride bikes like Hero Splendor, Glamour, Honda Shine, TVS Apache 160, Bajaj Pulsar 150.
2. From 5.6 feet to 5.10 feet:
If your height is in this range, then it will be easy for you to ride bikes weighing between 130-160 kg. Mid-size and slightly heavier bikes will be better for you, such as bikes with 150cc to 200cc engine. You can easily ride bikes like Yamaha FZ, Bajaj Pulsar NS200, Pulsar RS 200, Honda Hornet 2.0 and Hero Xtreme 160R.
3. Above 5.11 feet:
If your weight is more than 5.11 feet, then a bike between 150-200 kg will be better for you. You can easily ride heavy and big bikes between 200cc to 400cc. You should buy powerful and big engine bikes like Royal Enfield Classic 350, KTM Duke 390, Bajaj Dominar 400 according to your height.
Why is it important to match your weight and height?
Easy to control: If you are short in height, it may be difficult to maintain balance while riding a heavy bike.
Rest: The weight and height of the bike also affect your comfort. You can easily put your feet on the ground on a bike of the right weight according to your height.
Stability on long journeys: If you are tall and the bike is light, it may feel unstable on long journeys. On the other hand, a bike of the right weight provides better stability.
Selecting the right weight bike according to your height will give you better balance, comfort and driving experience.
