Rider Profile

Best For	This is a full-factory-spec motocross machine intended for skilled, competitive riders who already know how to handle a high-strung 250cc four-stroke race bike.
Purpose	Built purely for closed-course motocross racing, with every component chosen to maximize acceleration, suspension performance, and cornering speed on a dirt track.
Rider Fit	The tall 37.9-inch seat height, firm race suspension, and light 236-pound wet weight demand a fit, confident rider comfortable standing and shifting body weight aggressively over rough terrain.
Character	Sharp, high-revving, and razor-focused, this bike rewards aggressive throttle inputs and precise inputs with explosive acceleration and pinpoint agility rather than forgiving, easygoing manners.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for commuting, highway travel, two-up riding, or anyone seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance everyday ride.
