Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a big, powerful V-twin enduro that rewards experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light-feeling but torquey machine. |
| Purpose | Built for serious dual-sport and off-road adventure riding where long-travel suspension and a high-torque V2 engine can be exploited on rough terrain. |
| Rider Fit | The 910mm seat height and 168kg dry weight demand a tall inseam and decent physical strength for slow-speed maneuvering and picking the bike up off-road. |
| Character | A rare, boutique-feel machine that combines premium suspension components and a torquey four-stroke V-twin for a raw, purposeful offroad character rather than mass-market polish. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for short riders, novices, or anyone wanting a plush, passenger-friendly touring companion. |
