Honda CR500R vs KTM 250 SX ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CR500R has a 937 mm seat; the KTM 250 SX sits at 925 mm — a 12 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 94 cm for the Honda CR500R and 93 cm for the KTM 250 SX.

That makes the KTM 250 SX the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CR500R 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.
