The Quick Answer
Which 10TEN JHL Chassis Size Should You Choose?
The SK70 and SK110 have 630mm seat heights and compact 1015mm wheelbases. They are the smallest bikes in the range.
The MK110 and MK125 have 750mm seats, 1130mm wheelbases and 14/12-inch wheels. They provide considerably more rider space without moving to a large 17/14 chassis.
The LK125 and LK140 have 830mm seats, 1250mm wheelbases and 17/14-inch wheels. They are intended for taller riders who genuinely need more physical room.

Measure Before Ordering
How to Measure the Rider
1. Measure Height
Ask the rider to stand upright without shoes and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
2. Measure Inside Leg
Measure from the floor to the crotch while the rider stands naturally without footwear.
3. Consider Strength
The rider must be able to steady, turn and stop the bike without feeling physically overwhelmed.
4. Check Experience
Confirm whether the rider has used gears, a foot brake or a manual clutch before.
Seat-Height Context
Seat Height Is Only Part of the Fit
Seat height is useful for comparing bikes, but it does not show the complete riding position.
Wheelbase affects how much space the bike provides. Wheel size changes how high and substantial it feels, while seat width and suspension compression can influence how easily the rider reaches the ground.
The rider does not necessarily need both feet completely flat, but they should be able to support the bike confidently and operate every control without stretching.
Compact Bikes
SK Chassis: 630mm Seat Height
SK Decision
SK70 or SK110?
Both have the same seat height, so this is mainly a wheel-size and transmission decision.
Choose the SK70 for automatic simplicity. Choose the SK110 when the rider fits the compact chassis but is ready to learn foot-operated gears.
Compare SK70 vs SK110Mid-Size Bikes
MK Chassis: 750mm Seat Height
MK Decision
MK110 or MK125?
They provide the same physical space. The choice is therefore based on whether the rider is ready for a conventional manual clutch.
Choose the MK110 for easier semi-automatic control. Choose the MK125 when the rider is ready to coordinate the clutch, throttle and gear lever.

LK Chassis: 830mm Seat Height
LK Decision
LK125 or LK140?
Both bikes provide exactly the same stated rider space. Moving to the LK140 adds engine performanceānot additional growing room.
Choose the LK125 for a more manageable introduction to the larger chassis or the LK140 for a confident manual rider wanting stronger performance.
Compare LK125 vs LK140Between SK and MK
Compact 110 or Mid-Size 110?
When both bikes seem possible, prioritise confident control. The SK110 and MK110 use similar semi-automatic controls but provide very different physical space.

Between MK and LK
Mid-Size or Large-Wheel 125?
The MK125 has the stronger claimed power figure, while the LK125 provides the larger chassis.

Wheel-Size Effect
How Wheel Size Changes the Bike
Smaller wheels keep a bike lower, lighter-feeling and easier to turn at lower speeds. They suit compact chassis and smaller riding areas.
Larger wheels roll through ruts and uneven ground more easily. However, they also make the bike physically taller and more substantial.
Moving from 10/10 to 12/10, 14/12 or 17/14 changes much more than appearance. It affects rider fit, stability and how easily the bike can be controlled when stationary.

Which 10TEN JHL Size Should You Choose?
