Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-strung, big-bore enduro cross machine best suited to experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive dirt bike.
PurposeBuilt for competitive cross-country and enduro riding, with sharp handling and serious off-road performance rather than everyday transport.
Rider FitThe tall 968 mm seat height and light 103.9 kg dry weight demand good rider fitness and leg reach but reward it with easy manhandling over rough terrain.
CharacterA raw, high-revving single-cylinder enduro weapon with race-derived suspension and brakes that favors precision and commitment over comfort or convenience.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, commuters, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance road-going or passenger-friendly motorcycle.

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

Feet:

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
