PurposeBuilt purely for motocross racing on prepared tracks, with a big-wheel setup that adds a touch of stability for taller or more aggressive riders.
Rider FitThe tall 32.8-inch seat height, kick-only starting, and stiff race-tuned suspension demand good physical fitness, strength, and off-road riding skill.
