Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious enduro machine best suited to riders with prior off-road or dirt bike experience, not newcomers to two wheels.
PurposeBuilt for technical trail riding, enduro competition, and tackling rough terrain rather than road use or commuting.
Rider FitIts tall 940mm seat height and lightweight but tall stance demand good rider fitness, leg length, and confidence standing on the pegs.
CharacterA focused, race-bred off-road tool with premium Ohlins and Marzocchi suspension, rewarding an aggressive, skilled riding style over rough ground.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable daily commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long-distance paved touring.
