Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a purpose-built enduro machine best suited to riders who already have off-road or dirt-bike experience, as its light weight and abrupt two-stroke power delivery reward skill rather than forgive mistakes.
PurposeBuilt for trail riding, enduro competition, and technical off-road terrain rather than any road-based use.
Rider FitAt just 106 kg with a tall, narrow chassis, it demands active, standing-up riding and good physical fitness but rewards that effort with exceptional flickability.
CharacterA raw, lightweight two-stroke enduro bike with a peaky power band, minimal creature comforts, and a singular focus on off-road performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders wanting highway comfort, passenger capability, or a relaxed, low-maintenance daily commute.
