Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a light, high-strung two-stroke motocrosser.
PurposeBuilt as a competition-focused cross/motocross machine for serious off-road riding, trails, and racing rather than road use.
Rider FitThe tall 940mm seat height and lightweight 90.5kg dry chassis demand rider fitness and confidence standing on the pegs, but its low mass makes it manageable for smaller riders too.
CharacterA raw, purposeful two-stroke dirt bike with premium suspension components that rewards aggressive, active riding over rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long-distance road touring.
