Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist trials machine best suited to riders who already have off-road balance skills or are dedicated to learning technical trials riding.
PurposeBuilt purely for competitive and recreational trials riding, tackling obstacles, steep sections, and technical terrain at very low speeds with precise control.
Rider FitIts featherweight 84 kg build and low seat height make it extremely easy to muscle around, though standing riding posture demands good core strength and balance over long sessions.
CharacterA light, agile, torquey little single that rewards finesse and body positioning far more than outright speed or power.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a machine for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger, or anyone wanting comfort and everyday practicality.
