Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a purpose-built minibike cross machine best suited to young or lightweight riders with some off-road racing experience, not a beginner street bike.
PurposeDesigned for motocross-style competition and practice on small tracks, prioritizing sharp handling over outright speed or distance capability.
Rider FitIts tiny 762 mm seat height and 55.3 kg dry weight make it extremely light and manageable, ideal for smaller-statured riders such as kids or lightweight adults.
CharacterA quick-revving, flickable little two-stroke with premium Marzocchi and Ohlins suspension that rewards aggressive, playful riding on dirt.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for tall adults, highway commuting, two-up riding, or anyone wanting comfort and long-distance touring capability.
