Subject: Re: How tall should I be ?






Hello Michael and AT riders,

To handle an AT, you need to be at least 2.20 m and 130 kg ...

Mine is an RD04 and I am 1.78m for 65 kg. When stopped, both feet are
almost flat on the ground. But the most difficult is that, you have to be
very careful with the gravity center which is rather high on the AT. You
don't need to lean much to loose control of the bike! After a few weeks,
you get completely acustom to that. Note that once the bike is riding, this
weight disappears totally.

Hope this help,
Pierre (living near Louvain-La-Neuve)
