Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, race-bred two-stroke best suited to experienced or intermediate off-road riders comfortable with a tall seat, kick start, and peaky power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a pure enduro weapon for trails, tight woods, and competitive off-road riding rather than general-purpose use.
Rider FitThe tall 985mm seat height, light 107kg dry weight, and physical demands of a two-stroke powerband favor fit, confident riders over shorter or novice ones.
CharacterIt's a sharp, lightweight, high-revving two-stroke that rewards aggressive riding with explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling in the dirt.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suited to riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a highway tourer, or a low-maintenance easy-to-ride first bike.
