Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-bred enduro machine best suited to experienced off-road riders who already understand two-stroke-like power delivery, tall seat heights, and minimal creature comforts.
PurposeBuilt for serious trail riding, tight woods sections, and enduro competition rather than any road-going use, with the Six Days edition adding premium suspension and works-style components for racing.
Rider FitThe extremely light dry weight and tall 960mm seat height demand a rider with good fitness, strong core stability, and enough leg length to manage the bike standing on rough terrain.
CharacterSharp, flickable, and eager to change direction, this bike rewards an aggressive, active riding style over technical obstacles rather than relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for commuting, highway travel, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance daily machine.
