Rider Profile

| Purpose | Built as a full-blooded off-road and enduro competition weapon rather than a general-purpose motorcycle. |
| Rider Fit | Its tall 955mm seat height and minimal 8-litre fuel range demand a taller rider with decent fitness and off-road riding skill. |
| Character | A featherweight, high-revving single-cylinder enduro machine with race-bred suspension and titanium valves for serious dirt performance. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance daily commuter or a passenger-friendly touring bike. |
