I'm 5'3 can i ride this bike easily - Continental GT 650?

Question

Ankit · Accepted Answer

Do u own gt 650? How long did u ride it for ?In what conditions did u ride it?Were u even able to land your feet on ground or did u just side steped it evertime u stopped coz i cant imagine 5.3 tall guy riding this bike. Coz i wont ride a bike if i was 5.3 only my toes would touched ground when i stopped at a light or trying to take bike reverse on my toes will be funny and hard. Handling 210 kgs + plus bike on just foot fingers is a bad idea.

Ankit · Answer

Never.this bike is not for ur height i am 5.9 still honestly i have hard time handling this bike in several condition. But can lower this bike by cuting front suspension springs and chaging the stock seat for something almost no form then u can ride it but still bike cannot be used in everyday and every situation

PrasanGurung · Answer

I don’t agree with Ankit. Guy of 5.3 and above definitely ride the bike. I am 5.5 myself and can very comfortably ride gt650. I obviously cannot flat foot 🦶 but can easily manage the bike in all conditions (traffic, city, highways, hills). Being 5.9 not sure why Ankit is struggling so much with the bike.
