Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Kove 450 Rally has a 945 mm seat; the Kove 450RALLY EX sits at 960 mm — a 15 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 Kove 450 Rally and 96 cm for the Kove 450RALLY EX.
That makes the Kove 450 Rally the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Kove 450RALLY EX 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.
