Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced off-road riders who can manage a tall, firm-suspension enduro machine with a manual clutch and no ABS.
PurposeBuilt purely for trail riding, technical enduro sections, and off-road competition rather than any road-going use.
Rider FitThe tall 958mm seat height and light 115kg dry-oriented weight favor taller or more athletic riders comfortable standing on the pegs for extended periods.
CharacterA punchy, high-revving single-cylinder off-roader with long-travel adjustable Showa suspension that rewards aggressive, active riding over rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a highway tourer, or a machine that can easily carry a passenger.
