Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, high-strung enduro machine best suited to riders with solid off-road experience rather than beginners.
PurposeBuilt for serious trail riding, technical enduro courses, and competitive off-road use rather than pavement duty.
Rider FitThe tall 958mm seat height and light 113kg dry weight favor taller, physically fit riders comfortable standing on the pegs for extended periods.
CharacterA raw, focused dirt weapon with sharp handling, strong ground clearance, and premium suspension that rewards an aggressive, active riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for commuters, passengers, long-distance tourers, or shorter riders seeking a low, relaxed ride.
