Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious enduro machine best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, powerful big-bore single.
PurposeBuilt for demanding trail, enduro, and technical off-road riding rather than pavement commuting or highway travel.
Rider FitThe very tall 950mm seat height and minimal dry weight of around 108kg favor taller, fit riders who can manage an aggressive, top-heavy feel at low speed.
CharacterA punchy, torquey big-bore enduro thumper with race-bred suspension, sharp handling, and a raw, focused off-road character.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, shorter riders, or anyone wanting a comfortable road-going or passenger-friendly motorcycle.
