Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with genuine off-road or enduro experience, as its light weight and peaky two-stroke power reward skilled throttle control.
PurposeBuilt purely for trail riding, enduro competition, and technical off-road terrain rather than road use.
Rider FitIts featherweight 108 kg chassis and low seat make it easy to manhandle over obstacles, but the demanding two-stroke power delivery still requires active, engaged riding.
CharacterA raw, purpose-built enduro machine with sharp, flickable handling and an eager, high-strung two-stroke engine character.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders wanting highway comfort, passenger carrying, or long-distance touring capability.
