Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-focused enduro machine best suited to riders with prior off-road experience or racers stepping up from lower-displacement two-strokes.
PurposeBuilt for serious off-road enduro riding, tight woods sections, technical trails, and hard enduro or Six Days style competition rather than any road use.
Rider FitIts extremely light dry weight and tall 960 mm seat height reward an agile, fit rider comfortable standing on pegs and manhandling the bike through obstacles.
CharacterThe 250cc two-stroke TPI engine delivers a light, punchy, revvy power delivery with sharp throttle response and minimal flywheel effect, demanding active rider input.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for commuters, passengers, touring riders, or anyone seeking a comfortable, stable, road-going motorcycle.
