Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a tall, sharp-handling enduro machine best suited to riders with prior off-road or dirt bike experience, not newcomers to two wheels.
PurposeBuilt for technical off-road riding, enduro competition, and trail work rather than road use or covering long distances.
Rider FitThe 918 mm seat height and lightweight, narrow chassis demand decent rider height and fitness for standing, weight-shifting, and picking the bike up if it falls.
CharacterA purposeful, race-bred V-twin enduro with premium suspension and a light, tossable feel that rewards an aggressive, dirt-focused riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or a relaxed long-distance tourer.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
