Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some dirt-bike or enduro experience, as the tall seat height, kick start, and light two-stroke chassis reward confident, active riding.
PurposeA pure enduro/trail machine built for technical off-road riding, tight trails, and playful competition-style riding rather than covering distance.
Rider FitVery light dry weight and a tall 940mm seat height make it easy to manhandle over obstacles but demand decent leg length and fitness for standing-up riding.
CharacterA nimble, high-quality small-bore two-stroke enduro with premium Ohlins and Marzocchi suspension, emphasizing agility, precision and off-road capability over outright power or comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer, a passenger-friendly bike, or strong top-speed highway performance.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
