Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine for experienced riders comfortable with a tall, light, powerful big-bore enduro that demands active control. |
| Purpose | Built for serious offroad riding and technical terrain, with enough power and top speed to also handle fast open trails and occasional road use. |
| Rider Fit | The tall 910mm seat height and 145kg dry weight favor taller, fit riders who can manage its top-heavy stance and long-travel suspension when standing or maneuvering at low speed. |
| Character | A raw, torquey V-twin enduro that rewards confident, aggressive riding and punishes hesitation with its firm suspension and minimal rider comforts. |
| Not Ideal For | Not suited for short riders, passengers, daily commuting, or anyone seeking plush comfort and long-distance touring ease. |
