PurposeBuilt primarily for serious enduro and technical off-road riding, with dirt performance far outweighing any road-going capability.
Rider FitThe tall 970mm seat height, minimal weight, and firm long-travel suspension demand good rider fitness, leg length, and standing-riding stamina.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:
