Honda CRF450RL vs Husqvarna Motorcycles FE 501s ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CRF450RL has a 945 mm seat; the Husqvarna Motorcycles FE 501s sits at 952 mm — a 7 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 95 cm for the Honda CRF450RL and 95 cm for the Husqvarna Motorcycles FE 501s.

That makes the Honda CRF450RL the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Husqvarna Motorcycles FE 501s 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.
