GasGas MC 50 vs Kawasaki KDX50 ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The GasGas MC 50 has a 653 mm seat; the Kawasaki KDX50 sits at 480 mm — a 173 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 65 cm for the GasGas MC 50 and 48 cm for the Kawasaki KDX50.

That makes the Kawasaki KDX50 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the GasGas MC 50 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.
