Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, race-bred two-stroke enduro machine best suited to intermediate-to-advanced off-road riders comfortable with a peaky power delivery and tall, minimal seat.
PurposeBuilt specifically for competitive enduro and technical off-road riding, not for road use, commuting, or casual cruising.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight (around 104 kg) and tall 950 mm seat height reward an active, standing riding style and favor riders with good fitness and off-road technique over sheer size or strength.
CharacterSharp, light, and eager, this bike feels explosive and immediate thanks to its two-stroke engine and race-focused suspension, offering exceptional agility and feedback on rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, highway commuters, pillion passengers, or anyone wanting comfort-oriented long-distance touring.
