Aprilia Pegaso 650 Strada vs Yamaha XT125X ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Aprilia Pegaso 650 Strada has a 780 mm seat; the Yamaha XT125X sits at 830 mm — a 50 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 78 cm for the Aprilia Pegaso 650 Strada and 83 cm for the Yamaha XT125X.

That makes the Aprilia Pegaso 650 Strada the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Yamaha XT125X gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
