Rider fit: reaching the ground
The KTM 85 SX has a 869 mm seat; the Montesa Cappra 250 VR sits at 876 mm — a 7 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 87 cm for the KTM 85 SX and 88 cm for the Montesa Cappra 250 VR.
That makes the KTM 85 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 Montesa Cappra 250 VR 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.
