Figures are manufacturer claims. Clearance is measured differently by different makers, so treat small gaps as a draw.

Will your feet reach?

The Husqvarna TE 300 has a 952mm seat. Enter your inside leg for a rough idea of how much foot you'll get down when stopped.

A rough guide only. A wide seat needs more leg than a narrow one, the suspension settles 20 to 40mm under you, and boots add a little. Many bikes offer a low seat or lowering link. Sit on one before you buy.

What we actually found

The TE 300 is the road-legal two-stroke enduro Husqvarna still sells in the UK, with Euro 5+ approval. It weighs about 116 kg wet (estimated) and has 300 mm of WP XACT suspension, a 952 mm seat and 343 mm ground clearance, so ruts, roots and rock steps are easy. The cost is a small 8.5 litre tank, a tall, hard seat and the maintenance and fuel mixing demands of a two-stroke. A used TE 300 Pro sold in the UK as a green-laning bike had 121.8 hours and was due a full service and top-end rebuild, which shows how hours add up.

Pros for green laning

Cons and limitations

Before taking it seriously off-road: Spare plug, tools and a plan for fuel stops, plus handguards and a bash plate. Keep a log of engine hours. To buy used, check: the hours (not just the miles), the service and top-end rebuild history, the power valve, the clutch, and that the bike is genuinely road registered.

Remember: a rank here assumes reasonable stock tyres and a competent rider in decent conditions. The right tyres, or the wrong weather, can move a lane from easy to genuinely hard regardless of what bike you're on. Check a lane's own difficulty and hazards on the map before you go, don't rely on a bike score alone.
