The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The KTM Freeride E-XC has a 910 mm seat; the Zero Motorcycles XE sits at 899 mm — a 11 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 91 cm for the KTM Freeride E-XC and 90 cm for the Zero Motorcycles XE.
That makes the Zero Motorcycles XE the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the KTM Freeride E-XC 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.
