Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a purebred enduro machine best suited to intermediate and experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, lightweight, high-strung dirt bike.
PurposeBuilt for competitive enduro racing and serious trail riding, not for street use or commuting.
Rider FitThe tall 925mm seat height and lightweight but physically demanding riding style favor taller, fit riders used to standing and shifting body weight actively.
CharacterA raw, high-revving, race-focused single-cylinder machine that rewards aggressive, skillful riding over rough and technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for beginners, passengers, highway touring, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance daily ride.
