Rider Profile

Best ForAimed at experienced off-road and enduro riders comfortable with a tall, powerful single; the lofty 970mm seat and race-bred delivery overwhelm most beginners.
PurposeA street-legal enduro built to devour trails, rocks and technical terrain, with just enough road legality to link sections together.
Rider FitVery tall 970mm seat and 345mm ground clearance on a featherweight 122kg wet chassis; long-travel WP suspension and slim ergonomics demand a tall rider on tiptoes.
CharacterLight, punchy and eager, an SOHC 450 thumper that feels like a competition weapon with a plate - playful off-road, twitchy and buzzy on tarmac.
Not Ideal ForNot for commuters, tourers, passenger-carriers or short riders; the tiny 9.5L tank, hard seat and knobby tires make sustained road use miserable.
