The data nobody else publishes

Standover height, for every bike we track

Standover decides whether you can put both feet down at a stop — and most brands never print it. We collect every figure published by the manufacturers, link the source for each one, and name the popular models that publish nothing at all.

Unbiased & independent

We accept no payments from bike brands for placement. Every pick is chosen on published fit specs, never bought.

Built around short riders

Every pick is judged on standover, minimum seat height and reach for riders 5′0″–5′5″ — not on motor wattage.

Fit beats specs

Standover, reach, and control come first — because the right fit changes everything.
