Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, powerful big-bore single that rewards active riding.
PurposeBuilt primarily for serious off-road enduro riding and technical trail work, with enough road manners to serve as an occasional street-legal adventure companion.
Rider FitThe tall 36.8-inch seat height and minimal wind protection demand good rider fitness, leg length, and core strength for extended standing and technical maneuvering.
CharacterA raw, torquey, single-cylinder enduro weapon that feels light, agile, and eager to attack trails, ruts, and technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for shorter riders, passengers, beginners, or anyone seeking a plush, long-distance touring machine.
