Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, powerful enduro machine, as the big-bore single and minimal weight demand skilled throttle control.
PurposeBuilt primarily for serious enduro and technical off-road riding, with road-legal status intended mainly for connecting trails rather than for street-focused use.
Rider FitThe very low dry weight and street-trim components make it easy to manhandle over obstacles, but the tall 952mm seat height requires above-average inseam or strong technique for standstill balance.
CharacterIt has the character of a raw, torquey open-class enduro weapon, favoring aggressive, direct rider input over smoothness or refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a smooth, plush machine for long paved touring or carrying a passenger.
