Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-focused cross-country machine best suited to intermediate and experienced off-road riders who already understand aggressive suspension and a tall, firm chassis.
PurposeBuilt for closed-course cross-country racing (like GNCC-style events) with electric start and a wide-ratio 5-speed gearbox for extended off-road stints rather than street use.
Rider FitThe 37.7-inch seat height, 13 inches of ground clearance, and 242-lb wet weight demand good rider fitness, leg length, and off-road strength for standing, pivoting, and manhandling the bike over rough terrain.
CharacterSharp, light, and eager, with a high-revving single-cylinder engine, premium fully adjustable Showa suspension, and race-bred geometry that rewards an active, aggressive riding style.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for commuting, passenger riding, paved highway touring, or riders seeking a low, easy-to-manage, comfort-oriented motorcycle.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
