Rider Profile

Best ForThis lightweight two-stroke enduro suits riders comfortable with a peaky powerband and off-road handling, from confident novices to experienced dirt riders.
PurposeBuilt primarily for trail riding and light off-road enduro use rather than sustained road travel.
Rider FitIts very low weight and narrow seat make it easy to manage and flick around for smaller or lighter riders, though the firm suspension and upright stance demand active body input.
CharacterA nimble, buzzy two-stroke that rewards an energetic riding style and thrives on loose or uneven terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting high-speed highway comfort, passenger carrying, or long-distance touring capability.
