Basically as title says my ktm is just too tall .. I am 5ft 7 and no I am not a dwarf .. No offence to any dwarfs out there..

Just wondering what enduros are better for us vertically challenged ..

Waits for constructive comments lol ..

All the Gas Gas range are an inch lower on the seat height,, just got the dodgy build quality to put up with.. ide rather struggle with my little legs,, im 5 7" too.

Wege loves dwarfs, so he does

I did the who seat thing but ktm seats are firm naturally I then ended up sitting on pretty much plastic lol wasn't good

I will just manage and blame my height for my poor riding lol

alfer or kramit if you can find one! lol

otherwise gassers are the lowest most capable enduro bike without reverting to a trail bike eg pampera, crm, crf230 etc etc

You can get your KTM lowered, as Elvis said Plainer does it Midwest racing and a few others do. The only thing then is it does sump out easier but I'd rather put up with that
than struggle to get a foot down when you need to.
