Miehlvin Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I am considering getting an MSX 84v for winter and off road riding. I see that max rider weight is 100kg, so I have at least 5kg to loose. Anyone know if 100kg or close to 100kg is too much to ride it seated (ofcourse avoiding bumps etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Bon Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I would think it should be ok Most specs are plus and minus 5% Off road riding may be limited due to xtra strains due to weight Never tried riding seated as don't see any fun in that, but each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK Gotway doesn't sell a seat for it, and (depending on rider height) you'd have to bend your knees quite far to sit on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Sacristan Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Some of my seated riding. It's like riding a toilet with wheels. The squat position is above parallel for me at 163cm. No need to have your heels down unless you have godly dorsiflexion. It's a fun extra but not a main feature. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
