Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Fantic XEF 250 Trail has a 915 mm seat; the GasGas ES 700 sits at 910 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 92 cm for the Fantic XEF 250 Trail and 91 cm for the GasGas ES 700.
That makes the GasGas ES 700 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Fantic XEF 250 Trail gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
