Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist competition trials machine best suited to riders with dedicated trials training or strong off-road technical skill, not general road or track riders.
PurposeBuilt purely for technical trials riding, tackling obstacles, rocks, and tight balance-based maneuvers at very low speeds rather than for outright speed or distance.
Rider FitIts extremely light dry weight and tall, narrow seatless stance demand active standing riding and good balance, but the low mass makes it easy to muscle around and pick up.
CharacterA featherweight, highly responsive two-stroke trials iron that rewards precise clutch and throttle control with incredible agility in technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance comfort, passenger carrying, or a machine for everyday street commuting.
