Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-oriented enduro machine best suited to riders with prior off-road or dirt bike experience, as its light two-stroke power delivery and tall, firm suspension reward skill over comfort.
PurposeBuilt purely for technical off-road riding, trail enduro and competitive woods or cross-country events rather than any road-going use.
Rider FitThe very low 96 kg weight and tall 955 mm seat height make it easy to muscle around and flick over obstacles, though the tall stance and kick start favor riders of average-to-tall height and reasonable fitness.
CharacterA sharp, high-strung two-stroke enduro weapon that thrives on aggressive throttle inputs, quick direction changes and rough terrain, offering minimal comfort in exchange for maximum off-road agility.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, daily commuting, passenger carrying, or riders seeking a smooth, low-maintenance, road-friendly motorcycle.
