Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, powerful motocross-style machine.
PurposeBuilt for motocross and hard enduro riding, excelling at aggressive off-road use over pavement commuting or touring.
Rider FitThe tall 965mm seat height, minimal weight, and firm long-travel suspension demand good rider fitness, leg length, and off-road skill.
CharacterA raw, high-performance dirt weapon with premium Ohlins suspension and a punchy big-bore single, designed for riders who want race-ready capability rather than creature comforts.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, daily street commuting, passengers, or long-distance highway touring.
