Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist trials machine best suited to riders with dedicated off-road technical skills, from intermediate trials learners to competitive experts, rather than general street or commuter riders.
PurposeBuilt purely for competitive and recreational trials riding, where the goal is climbing obstacles, balance, and precise low-speed control rather than covering distance or speed.
Rider FitThe extremely low dry weight and tiny fuel tank make it easy to muscle over obstacles, but the tall seat height and lack of seat padding demand strong legs, core balance, and standing-riding stamina rather than seated comfort.
CharacterFeatherweight, razor-sharp, and endlessly flickable, this bike rewards precise throttle and body control with almost telepathic responsiveness on technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for anyone wanting a comfortable commuter, a highway tourer, or a fast road machine, since it has no real seat, minimal fuel range, and no pretense of on-road performance.
